This review is from: The Healing Power of NatureFoods: 50 Revitalizing SuperFoods and Lifestyle Choices that Promote Vibrant Health (Paperback)

I bought this book earlier today and didn't put it down until four hours later. I haven't had the time or energy to cook or prepare food for quite a while, so my eating habits have resulted in such things as metabolic imbalance. Even though I was eating mostly healthy food, I was eating the same things almost daily and, therefore, not getting the range of nutrients needed. For the purpose of getting back in balance, I went looking for books to help clear up some of the confusion I've felt about all the food I see at my grocery store. This book is exactly what I wanted and more. Where some writers might write pages and pages of interesting data that gets lost amongst elaboration, SSJ has provided very useful information in an easy to read/learn way about 50 SuperFoods and the benefits and importance of eating them. As well, there are extremely simple and easy-to-prepare recipes which I'm looking forward to preparing often. This is not a do-this-do-that book and there aren't any meal plans to follow. For my purposes, it's the handiest and most concise nutritional handbook I've found. I used to feel overwhelmed by all the information available and had even consulted a professional nutritionist to make it easier. Because of this book, I'm no longer confused and have a clue about what to do...and am already doing it only several hours later! I'm looking forward to seeing what else SSJ has written on this subject. HIGHLY recommended. Peace.

This review is from: The Healing Power of NatureFoods: 50 Revitalizing SuperFoods and Lifestyle Choices that Promote Vibrant Health (Paperback)

This is a great book and it was very instrumental in putting me on the path of healthy eating and wellness. I began to change my diet incorporating many of the fruits and vegetables and within 2 months my blood pressure had dropped to normal, I lost 15 pounds and I felt stronger and more energetic than ever. One of the biggest takeaways I got from the book was my introduction to juicing. I now make juicing an everyday part of my healthy lifestyle and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I bought a Champion juicer which was recommended by the book and I'm glad I did. I wish I had known about the wonderful benefits of eating a plant-based diet years ago. I hope this review was helpful.

This review is from: The Healing Power of NatureFoods: 50 Revitalizing SuperFoods and Lifestyle Choices that Promote Vibrant Health (Paperback)

If you are looking for a book that's 158 pages and then describes the benefits, health nutrients, etc., in 80 pages on fruits, vegetables ,nuts, etc. Then this is a good book for you. She talks about the healing powers of each of the super-foods and describes this in detail. This is a great book for someone who is starting out for the first time in eating healthy and does not know what's good and right to eat without buying an encyclopedia. The author is motivational and accurate in her summations. There are some 42 recipes you can easily make to get you started on a road of healthy eating towards the back of the book. Some good recipes I might add. This book is simple to understand. I try to eat most the super-foods listed in her book on a bi-weekly basis. Recommend.
