Eat for Life: The Breakthrough Nutrient-Rich Program for Longevity, Disease Reversal, and Sustained Weight Loss

Very well put together, lots of information from a doctor who truly knows nutrition and great recipes at the end of the book

Everything I have read so far makes poefect sense.Things I have tried so far are easy to follow. I bought the hard back version & expect to be using it continually far a long time.I would recommend it to anyone who genuinly cares about their health.

I ordered the paperback version as it was cheaper but returned it as the writing was much smaller than on the hardcover version (makes sense since the book is much smaller). It’s a very well written book, makes a lot of sense but there are no pictures with the recipes and the book is all black and white.

I have enjoyed reading this book and I am in the process of trying some of the recipes.

You literally are what you eat and your environment. I like the recipes so know what is good to eat..not just what can't eat. I signed up to his emails which are helpful

very valuable book for those who desire to be very healthy

I had held off reading this book, thinking it would be a rehash of Dr. Fuhrman’s previous books.Not so. It is a fine, fine recap of earlier teachings plus much more.His books always carry intriguing concepts and terms, suggestive ones such as “aromatase inhibitors” and “ellagic acids.”In this volume we find striking terms: telomere erosion, gene silencing, insulin packaging, dopaminergic neuron loss, heterocyclic amines, DNA methylation, anxiolytic depression, down-regulated detoxification, thermogenic stimulants, glycotoxins, and intramyocellular lipids.Exotic new nutrients are mentioned: terpenes, diterpenes, tocopherols.We are strongly made aware of certain dangers: oxidized LDL, over-supplementation, excess salt in the diet, low IGF-1 levels in seniors, excessive fish oil, when cholesterol can be too low, and the triage hypothesis.We are also given key points for health: the critical role of zinc, the ‘second meal effect’ of beans, how certain sprouts/ baby greens are more effective than the mature version; and five fundamental supplementation needs.This book really gets down to biological nuts and bolts: we read of cell mitochondria, in which hydrogen ions and electrons transfer energy. We learn that the surfaces of our cells have cave-like structures called caveolins, that bind and uptake insulin.A dozen increasingly dramatic personal accounts are carried, with full names (so they seem more credible than a personal narrative with just a first name.)Some critical points: rather than the repetitive chapter summaries, I would rather see more inspirational personal narratives. The chapter on salt danger almost seems to have been copied and pasted directly from Dr. Fuhrman’s “The End of Heart Disease.” Dr. Fuhrman says frozen quality foods are okay, but the millennials-old Ayurvedic teachings on food would consider frozen foods and leftovers to be dead food. Finally, judging by this book, people seem to be awash in research studies. Some are 10, 15, and even 26 years long. The latter especially seems a bit implausible in light of population mobility and research organization turnover.

No lo recomiendo. Juega demasiado con tu mente y empiezas a tenerle miedo a enfermarte, a sentirte mal por comer alguna cosa procesada, a pensar que todo recae en ti, y que si te enfermas es por tu culpa, por ser irresponsable contigo mismo. De verdad que no lo recomiendo. Vivan su vida, coman comida real y natural y dejen de leer libros como estos que solo te lavan el cerebro.

Full of fantastic information. It includes recipes for a variety of ailments too which is very helpful.

While there is no shortage of plant-based diets available to the public, most are lacking in crucial micronutrients for optimal health. Dr. Fuhrman’s diet focusses on eating high nutrient whole plant based food and supplementation at conservative levels. Another popular diet which focusses on starch (lots of potatoes) may work for weight loss in the short term; however it does not provide sufficient nutrients such as omega 3 to protect against diseases such as Alzheimer’s in later years. I highly recommend this book and all of Dr Fuhrman’s work.
