BOOK REVIEW: You Are What You Eat by Carina Norris
As a young lady, optimum health and beauty is on the top of
my list. With many holistic practitioners advocating the ‘medicine is food and
food is medicine’ concept, I stumbled on this book at the precise moment in my
young life. This book is packed to the brim with facts and information on the
types of food that enables health, growth and development at every stage of
life for both men and women.
Eating well can change your life – it can make you look and
feel better, boost your energy levels and increase your life expectancy. But
our nutritional needs and health concerns change throughout our life.
This book contains nutritional advice for everyone with
tailored information and tips for every stage, from childhood to old age. This
book concentrates on 3 major life stages: ages 5-25, 25-50 and 50+, and
explains how our needs change with age and the health issues that we face at
each stage of life, including: weight gain, immunity and resisting disease, digestion
problems, stress as well as hormones (PMS, menopause, mood).
There are also plenty of tips on how to eat to beat many
illnesses including heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimers and arthritis.
Whatever your age, you’ll find all the advice and information you need to live
a healthier, happier and longer life.
As I’m writing this book review, I’m sipping a luxuriously
antioxidant-rich berry smoothie in a health cafe a stone’s throw away from my
house.
