In the introduction to 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life , author and nutritionist David Grotto says, "This book celebrates food. I'll leave the demonizing of this protein or that dairy product to others. I do have an ultimate goal in mind: to encourage you to eat and live 'optimally.'"
With celebration in mind, Grotto, who is the former spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, has compiled a comprehensive, easy-to-use, A to Z reference guide that puts emphasis on diet rather than drugs, and validates the scientific discoveries that are establishing today's dietary guidelines. Grotto knows that laughter is also good for use and has approached his topic with humor,and without ponderous moralizing that can accompany anything that looks like good health. Laughter and good health go together.
If you wonder how Grotto arrived at this list of 101 foods, he tells you simply that they are selected as the top nutrient-dense foods out of a larger list of over 360 foods. And the good news is that you are guaranteed to find favorite foods that are nutritionally healthy. Yes, even chocolate, and Grotto is sure to include it.
Each of the 101 food entries includes a history of the food's origin, the therapeutic benefits and some scientific research. In addition, there are tips for use and preparation, and a savy-but-simple recipe from a leading chef or nutritionist. He discusses why you should eat each food, the use as of each a 'home remedy', how to bring a food into your diet if it isn't already part of your thinking. He advises that you venture forward and try some of the foods that you don't know.
