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.

Absolutely not!

But what about all of that research they did in China, didn’t it show without a doubt that those who consumed animal protein had the highest incidence of heart disease, cancer, and strokes?  Didn’t it show that vegetarians gave themselves the best opportunity for Lifetime Wellness?

Yes, the author of The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell claimed that this was true, however, a more in depth analysis of his data tells a different story…

As someone who really struggles when I don’t sleep enough or very well, I am always on the lookout for ways to enjoy a better sleep.

In my experience as a Kanata Chiropractor, when people think about improving their health and creating Lifetime Wellness, they always consider diet and exercise first; quality and quantity of sleep is rarely considered.

Six to eight hours of sleep per night seems to be optimum for most adults, and both too much and too little can have significant adverse effects on your health.  Sleep deprivation is such a chronic condition these days that most people don’t even realize that they suffer from it.

I came across this awesome video of 11 year-old Birke Baehr talking about what’s wrong with our food system that I thought you’d enjoy…
