In this newly updated and repackaged follow-up to Fit For Life, one of
the bestselling diet books of all time, nutritional specialist Harvey
Diamond teaches readers how to live a long healthful life by making
smart dietary changes, adopting a clean diet, and offering a blueprint
for optimal health, pain-free living, increased energy and weight loss
without deprivation.
Did you know that on average each one of us will consume approximately
seventy tons of food in our lifetime? The amount of time, effort, and
energy necessary to obtain, prepare, and consume all that food, plus the
effort of your body to break it down, extract, and utilize what you need
from it, and eliminate the rest, represents a hugely significant portion
of your time on this planet. This book demystifies and simplifies the
entire subject, while empowering you to know that you and you alone are
in control of whether you live your life in good or ill health.
Through intelligent dietetic decisions, you can harness the powerful
healing energy of food. Step by step, in simple, understandable
language, readers learn what pain, ill health, and disease really are,
how and why they occur, and how they can be avoided. The book explains
all you need to know about the single most important ally you have, your
body's lymph system, the heart and soul of the immune system and the
mechanism in your body whose explicit job and function is to keep you
well. The secret to long-term, vibrant health lies in the understanding
of the lymph system and what steps you can take to support its
activities, not thwart them.
This ultimate diet and health plan is a comprehensive, cutting-edge
program to reduce weight, lower cholesterol, combat serious diseases,
and maintain vitality. More than a review of diseases such as cancer or
how to manage them, this important book makes the strategic transition
from treatment to prevention. People are increasingly taking
responsibility for decisions concerning their health. FIT FOR LIFE: A
NEW BEGINNING empowers the individual to make health-care decisions that
are bsed on personal research; indeed, it accelerates this process.
While it does discuss diagnosis and treatment, its real message is that
you can prevent disease.
