The China StudyThe China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term HealthBy T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M Campbell Recommended by peacelovezumba So, I'm about 3 chapters into the book and it's very eye opening and interesting. I had a really hard time putting it down last night. Who else has read it? It's very anti-dieting industry as I've seen so far. Like I said, I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I can see that it's a worth while read for anyone who has an interest in nutrition and health. Oh, it's also some points about the US government, our health care system, and the nutrition research that's been done over the years. I can't wait to go read some more! It really is much more interesting than I make it sound :) Click here for details and to discuss this book with NutriMirror members.

The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and WhyRecommended and reviewed by simps117 So, my boyfriend and I love going to the bookstore and getting a coffee and reading. It's one of the things we do at least once a week. Well, this weekend, I picked up the book "150 Healthiest Foods on Earth" by Jonny Bowden. Seriously, what an eye-opening book. It's absolutely amazing. I usually don't buy the books I just pick up, but I had to buy this one, as it's such a great reference, and I love his narration. I'm obsessed with food, I love cooking and finding new healthy recipes, and while we all know what "healthy" food is, this book takes it to a new level. For example, I knew wild salmon was different nutritionally from farm raised salmon, but the way it's described, they're basically two completely different foods. Wild Salmon have more than double the amount of Omega-3's than the farm raised ones, and the only reason the farm raised ones have any at all is because it's injected. Also, did you know avocados grown in California have a completely different nutritional makeup than those grown in Florida? Crazy! Anyways, I found this book incredibly interesting and informative and a completely new way to look at food as both fuel and "medicine" for your body. I highly recommend it! simps117 Click here for details and to discuss this book with NutriMirror members.
