More About the Author

Jay Kordich was born in 1923 just outside San Diego, California. He grew up in the shadow of his hard working father who was a fisherman and captain of his own fishing boat. Jay learned early on the value of a hard day's work. He also grew and developed the muscles that would serve him well as a football player at the University of Southern California.

In 1948 at the age of 25, Jay was diagnosed with a serious illness and was told he may not have long to live. After reviewing all the treatments available, he left California and traveled to New York City to see Dr. Max Gerson who was treating terminally ill patients with fresh raw juices and healthy cleansing diets. Jay became his patient and immediately began a regimen of large doses of raw carrot/apple juice. It wasn't long before Jay's health was restored and the direction of his life was changed forever.

From a star athlete to surviving a life-threatening illness, all by the age of 26, Jay soon decided he wanted to spread the word of fresh juices and eating a healthy diet. For the next 40 years Jay took his message to anyone who would listen, from county fairs to large department stores to seaside juicing shops. It was his passion to teach everyone he could reach how to be healthy through the power of fresh juices.

In 1990 Jay appeared on his first, national infomercial and Americans embraced him. They were excited to hear his message of long life, health and vitality. He became a New York Times best selling author, speaker and lecturer and created audio and video programs to spread his message of good health through live foods.

Through the years Jay has been featured on:
* More than 500 television shows
* Over 1000 radio talk shows
* USA TODAY (cover article)
* WALL STREET JOURNAL (cover article)
* PEOPLE MAGAZINE
* FORBES
* NEW YORK TIMES
* WASHINGTON POST
* ABC NEWS NIGHTLINE 
NBC NEWS THE TODAY SHOW

In 2005, at the age of 82, Jay and his wife Linda co-wrote his latest book, "Live Foods Live Bodies". In this 240 page full color book, you will find Jay's life long secrets to vital health, stamina and longevity through the power of living foods and juices. There are recipes, meal planning, preparation guidelines, cleansing programs, and more. Page after page of information, served up step by step to help you achieve long lasting health into your 80s, 90s, 100s and beyond!

Now jay is a healthy and vibrant 87 years old. He looks and acts like a man half that age. He is out to teach everyone the "secrets" to his long and vital life.
Jay says, "My mission is to motivate, teach and inspire people on a global level to live a healthy life by consuming more fresh juices on a daily basis. These live foods have transformed and helped heal my life on so many levels for the past sixty years."

5.0 out of 5 stars a simply wonderful book, March 25, 2006

This review is from: Jay Kordich's Live Foods - Live Bodies (Hardcover)

I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about, but this book is beautiful, wonderful and incredibly informative. I love Jay Kordich and he speaks the truth -- as his book shows -- it's all about fresh foods and sensible eating. The recipes in the book are fantastic. This book is even better than his "Power of Juicing" book. A classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully presented book on raw foods and juicing, March 20, 2008

This review is from: Jay Kordich's Live Foods - Live Bodies (Hardcover)

Jay Kordich is best remembered from his somewhat batty infomercials that I remember watching as a child. Regardless of these odd commercials, He is really an example of great health and energy at any age. As an adult, I bought the juiceman juicer which came with a cassette tape of Jay Kordich explaining the power of juice, which made me want to learn more. I bought this book and was impressed with its layout and ideas, plus it gave me a better idea as to what Jay and his family eat and drink. Really I bought this book because I would like to be more like Jay Korvich prancing around in a gym suit and being strong, maybe minus the big eyebrows.

I like the layout--I can either flip through it for inspiration and ideas OR I can sit and read it in detail. The pictures are lovely and inspiring. There are a few publishing issues as mentioned by the other reviewer, but it doesn't greatly detract from the scope and enjoyment of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just another cookbook, January 5, 2008

By 

For The Health of It "Melinda" (Tulsa, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jay Kordich's Live Foods - Live Bodies (Hardcover)

The first part of the book is dedicated to the philosophy of living foods and why to eat them; how to prepare them; even how to make changes in your kitchen and shopping habits to incorporate more living, raw foods in you diet. The second part of the book are recipes which require from basic to moderate preparation time. There are many color photos throughout the book and the recipes that I have prepared are very enjoyable.

So why the four stars? Before you purchase this book you must understand that Jay and Linda published the book themselves. Let's just say they are NOT publishers. There are many typos and sentences that are incomplete. There is a certain amount of disorganization to the book. Much of the first half is written very conversational style, which is fine, but don't expect a lot of scientific jargon to prove anything.

So do I recommend it? Yes, with the understanding there are a limited number of recipes; that this is clearly geared toward the reader that is unfamiliar with a living raw food diet; and that you give the Kordich's some grace when it comes to overall quality and readability.

Even if you do not want to eat 100% raw food (I don't, in fact I am not even a vegan) by incorporating some of the recipes and life-style changes mentioned in the book you can improve your health and gain more energy. In fact, I hope the Kordich's can soon publish another book with more recipes - I would be in line to buy it.
