NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

As Featured on PBS

How to stay healthy and boost immunity with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joel Fuhrman's no-nonsense, results-driven nutrition plan.

As a family physician for over 30 years and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Fuhrman, M.D. will tell you that doctors and medications cannot grant you excellent health or protection from disease and suffering. The most effective health-care is proper self-care and that starts with changing the way we eat.

Eat for Life delivers a science-backed nutrition-based program that prevents and even reverses most medical problems within three to six months. This is a bold claim but the science and the tens of thousands who have tried this approach back it up.

The truth is: you simply do not have to be sick.

Most Americans are deficient in the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in plants (micronutrients), and consume too many fats, proteins, carbohydrates (macronutrients). The results of this standard diet is that we are not only shortening our lives but damaging our energy, vitality, and daily health by eating packaged and processed foods, excessive meat and dairy, and unsustainable amounts of salt and sugar. What we need is to consume foods rich in phytonutrients such as greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds. These delicious and abundant foods contain the largest assortment of micronutrients and when consumed in adequate quantities they prevent and reverse diabetes and heart-disease, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce hunger and food cravings.

Rooted in the latest nutritional science and complete with recipes, menu plans, and testimonials, Eat for Life offers everything you need to change the course of your health and put this life-changing program to work for you.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Celebrity doctor Fuhrman (Eat to Live) lays out his case for the "Nutrarian" diet in this heavily notated guide to healthier eating. Fuhrman posits that the Nutrarian diet--a regimen focused on nutrient-rich, mostly vegan foods--"is the pinnacle of excellence in the nutrition world" and can slow aging, prevent disease, and boost longevity. He bolsters those claims with case studies of those who've conquered diabetes, hepatitis, cardiovascular disease, and even stage IV melanoma by following his plan, and supplements his argument with citations of his own studies as well as those done by other physicians (he concludes with nearly 50 pages of notes referencing various scientific studies). Those worried about palate fatigue will appreciate the breadth of dishes in these 100-plus recipes, such as black bean and butternut squash chili; Asian ginger lime zucchini noodles; a meatless bolognese (made with tempeh); buffalo cauliflower; no-bake brownies; crispy onion rings; Mac and Peas (a combination of oats, vegetable broth, miso, and yeast replaces the cheese); and huevos rancheros (made with scrambled tofu). Ingredients are easily sourced, and Fuhrman's directions are easy to follow. Home cooks looking to change their lifestyles will feel in good hands with Fuhrman's encouraging and detailed guide.

Booklist Review

Physician and best-selling nutrition expert Fuhrman made his mark with Eat to Live (2003, revised 2011). Ten popular books later, Fuhrman presents a new, in-depth guide to the Nutritarian diet, which focuses on micronutrient-rich foods, especially plants. With real-life testimonials (Fuhrman writes that he has treated 15,000 patients) and references to recent nutritional studies, recapped in helpful charts and lists, Fuhrman delineates precisely how the protective micronutrients in vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and fruits ward off and reverse cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more, while enabling people to achieve and maintain an optimum weight and to live a longer, healthier life. While some of his claims about the effectiveness of "nutritional excellence" are bold, his elucidation of the impact of nutrients is exceptionally informative. Recommended foods, menus, and recipes offer a blueprint for adopting a plant-focused, nutrient-dense diet. Readers eating a typical American diet, including meat and processed foods, will find Fuhrman's recommendations challenging but ultimately beneficial, while vegetarians and vegans will learn ways to fine-tune their eating habits. In all, a valuable nutritional handbook with wide appeal.
