The authors show how most of the
common diseases, ailments, and
disabilities
that people suffer from today can be prevented, reversed, and
often cured by lifestyle changes nearly everyone can make at
home. An example is 66-year-old Bob Anderson who couldn't even
walk to his mailbox when he began the Adventist plan.
Afterward, he traveled 300 miles to his appointment over the
Rockies on a bicycle. For an encore, he traveled 3,000 miles
across Canada.
What made the difference? Ludington and
Diehl show that health derelicts can become dynamos by
simplifying their diet, eating unrefined foods, using natural
remedies, and exercising.

Until now, to battle headaches,
arthritis, or menstrual cramps, many women have taken fistfuls of
over-the-counter remedies. Menopause has meant lifelong dependence on
prescription hormones. Preventing cancer has meant yearly mammograms, and
precious little else.
Healthy Eating shows that through
simple diet changes, headaches can become a thing of the past. Menopausal
symptoms may never even start. And women can gain new power over the most
common and problematic forms of cancer. Everything from improving fertility to
erasing the signs of aging to managing osteoporosis, arthritis, and urinary
tract infections, has been subjected to new methods of research and can now be
dealt with more easily than ever. The answer, more often than not, lies in
nourishing the body in new and healthy ways.

Healthy
Eating for Life for Children
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Nourishing
growing children is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The foods
women eat during pregnancy affect not only the child's development,
but his or her health later in life. And the tastes babies learn
early on will influence which foods they pull from the refrigerator
as teenagers or pick from a menu in adulthood.
Children
who learn to enjoy healthy foods have a tremendous asset. The
right foods can help them stay slim and healthy, strengthen their
immunity, reduce the risk of health problems as they age, and
even boost their learning ability. It's easier than many of us
might imagine.
