Eat By Design

Following last week’s Eat By Design Seminar several Practice Members have asked me to offer up a list of my favourite nutrition books.

And as I mentioned at the seminar, I too find it frustrating that there are so many diet and health books that continue to come out on a regular basis many of which completely contradict one another all written by seemingly intelligent and experienced “experts” in the field.  Unfortunately, this will always be true no matter what, which is why I thought it would be important for me to post this list to help you cut through all of the hype.

In no particular order, here are 9 of the best books about nutrition and health that have helped to shape Eat By Design in one way or another.

For The Love Of Life

Life By Design

Please understand that life is our most precious value.  Every love and desire that we have is based upon the fact that we live.  When we die, our world — and everything in our world — ceases to exist.

If you love anything at all, you must by default, love to live first!  Everything else comes second.

Intertwined with this concept of life is the idea of health.  It is a pillar of life.  You cannot be fully alive if you are not fully healthy.  Your level of health is directly proportional to your level of life.  If your health begins to fail, your life begins to become difficult.  You cannot care as much for others, and you cannot accomplish all your own hopes and dreams.

“One day I felt fine, and then the next day I was just. . ..”

How often have you heard this? Probably enough that you do not even recognize the absolute absurdity of that statement. Except for severe traumas, such as car accidents, major falls, poisoning, etc., people do not suddenly become ill. Disease does not occur spontaneously.

Small traumas, long-term abuse and negligence, though unnoticeable at first, take their toll on the body over a period of time. When the first symptoms appear, the body has already been malfunctioning for some period of time — often years.

Does Flu Season Really Exist?

Soon it will be that time of year again. You’ll see it and hear it everywhere you go. Maybe you are thinking this message is early as we haven’t even made it through the holidays yet.  You say you still don’t know what I am talking about. Well, think about it. After all the shopping and worrying– about what to get who, will it fit, do they have one already, can we afford it, and all the visiting–your friends, your family, your in-laws, your kids, all the partying–cookies and milk, nuts and beer, chips and pretzels, dips, vegetables, wine, cheese and crackers (all, of course, before you sit down to a big meal). And after all the last minute rushing around, lost sleep, and “I’ve got a million things to do”…  What on earth could possibly (and only naturally) follow all this? That’s right–the fever, chills, ache-all-over feeling, coughing, sneezing and complaining of the flu season!
