Food for thought: 5 non-boring books about nutrition
Dina Popova
Last week, Business Insider published an article in which the creator of authoritynutrition.com, Chris Gunnars, “bombed” 11 well-known myths about nutrition (the harmfulness of eggs, the danger of high-protein diets, the unconditional usefulness of cereals - that's all). We asked Dina Popova to choose five books that can be a good help for people who are not indifferent to their diet: even if not all the authors' postulates are correct or universal, every book has worthwhile attention.
IT'S ALL GOOD
Gwyneth Paltrow
At the heart of Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook, “It's All Good,” is the clean food system in the form of recipes and a list of its allowed products, from which Gwyneth managed to come up with as many as 185 non-dull dishes. It’s not difficult to prepare them, because first of all, when writing a book, Gwen focused on those busy ladies who want to eat right, but don’t spend too much time on the process of cooking and searching for the necessary ingredients - almost all the recipes in the book consist of simple seasonal products.
EAT FAT BE THIN
Natalie Kringudi, Andy Lew
The book of girlfriends Andy Lew and Nathalie Kringudi is devoted to how to survive the lovers of a healthy lifestyle surrounded by the philistine myths about weight loss and health. In their book, they put all the points above the "i" associated with the use of healthy and not very fat, and teach how to cook a delicious dessert without milk, flour, sugar and eggs.
DETOX 4 WOMEN
Natalie Rose
In her book, nutritionist Natalie Rose considers it in terms of the female body, the processes in which are significantly different from those that occur in the male body. Rose says that under the influence of the hormone estrogen, women are more prone to weight gain and overeating; In their bodies, an oversupply of yeast bacteria can occur, which makes digestion and assimilation of food difficult, problems with the skin and excess weight build up. Natalie proposes to exclude from the diet all food that can promote the growth of bacteria, namely flour and sweet, nuts and fruits, as well as products with animal protein and cereals containing gluten. Since Rose is a supporter of raw food, her book contains many recipes for freshly squeezed juices and dishes without heat treatment, of which mainly consists of its four-week program of nutrition.
GRAIN BRAIN
David Perlmatter
Well-known American neurologist David Perlmatter, in his book, tells the uncomfortable truth about the effects of wheat and sugar on our brains and health, and suggests a 30-day plan to abandon products that interfere with achieving optimal health. According to Perlmatter, such products cause chronic headaches, depression, anxiety and hyperactivity. The neurologist's critics were not only carbohydrates, but even whole grains and fruits. The book describes in detail the simple steps with which you can change your eating habits and lifestyle. As a result, according to the author, it is possible to stimulate the growth of new brain cells at any age and get rid of most of the known diseases without the use of any drugs.
