To be honest there is not much new here that wasn't covered in Eat for Health.
What I did like about this version is how the book was laid out and presented in simpler way to understand.
Dr. Fuhrman also expanded the nutritional information that had to be taken on faith in Eat for Health. In this book he goes into greater depth to explain what each nutrient does for the body. He also explains why it is better to cook some foods while raw is best for others.
One of the most convincing parts of the book is how he breaks down some of the most popular diets and explains the limitations and dangers of each one.
Dr. Fuhrman promotes eating a balanced diet, one rich in plant-based nutrients. He never comes out against eating animal products but you can certainly see how a vegetarian, near-vegan or vegan diet fits snugly into his research.
If you haven't quite bought into his eating plan this book may help to convince you.
I do like that Dr. Fuhrman never comes out to say that you should follow his plan to the letter. He asks only that you try to incorporate the parts that interest you the most. By dipping in your toe you can still benefit simply by introducing more nutrients into your body.
Good nutrition comes by replacing the processed foods with fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans and legumes.
I have already benefited from the plan. I know this because, when I indulge in processed foods, I can feel the difference. Sometimes I even get a low-grade hangover the next day. It is surprising.
Recommended.
