January 05, 2016
DIETARY CHANGES PROVEN TO PREVENT AND REVERSE DISEASE
In
Let Food Be Your Medicine, Dr. Don Colbert takes a look at the most common
health issues and offers simple dietary changes using a specially modified
Mediterranean Diet. With a better understanding of what to eat and what not to
eat, readers will know how their nutritional choices affect: - CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE - WEIGHT LOSS - ARTHRITIS - ADHD - TYPE 2 DIABETES - CANCER - AND MORE.
Let Food Be Your Medicine includes meal plans, delicious recipes, tips on
supplements, and other information to help you find an approach to food that
will change your life. You can beat genetics. You can overcome. You can start
today.
Most
of us think God is not concerned with what we eat, but the Bible actually
offers great insight and instruction about the effects of food on our bodies.
Dr. Colbert introduces a revolutionary sugar detox method, combined with an
anti-inflammatory form of the modified Mediterranean diet that resolves a broad
spectrum of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, dementia, cancer, and
osteoarthritis. Just imagine – understanding how food alone can produce mental
clarity, balanced weight, and longevity. Includes meal plans and recipes.

My
Thoughts:
I have
been trying to make healthier choices in my life for the last few years. Food
is one of those changes. Food seems to be the hardest change in an American
diet and a busy schedule. For the most part we know that diet changes can
prevent diseases. I was intrigued by Dr. Don Colbert’s book and the contents of
it.
He
uses the principals of the Mediterranean diet with some modifications to help
with health issues discussed in the book. He explains how certain foods react to our body.
Food
suggestions are made for all meals so you can get a feel of what a typical meal
would look like. He talks about how certain foods are a source
of inflammation and other health issues.
The book is broken down in two sections.
