Dariush Mozaffarian: Food Is Medicine, Gebunden

Klappentext

The food we eat is making us sick. Diet has become the leading cause of illness and premature death, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and other chronic ailments. Advocates of healthier diets pin the blame on overeating, but the bigger issue is what we undereat, the dearth of food that nourishes. Harnessing the power of the right foods can do more than prevent illness; it can treat it, extending life while reducing the crippling cost of ill health. Food Is Medicine shows the way, from transforming our own diets to getting the right foods from our farms, into our stores and onto our plates.

He reveals the medicinal, healing power of ideal nutrition and introduces the innovators who are pioneering solutions - at the doctor's office, in supermarkets and in the halls of power.

With clarity and optimism, braiding storytelling, science and practical wisdom, Food Is Medicinelays out a vision for a food system that will restore health, nourishment and equity without sacrificing choice.
