In her newly released book, Primal Body-Primal Mind: Empower your total health the way evolution intended (and didn'st), nutrition expert Nora Gedgaudas takes on the sacred cows of the health care and food industries to provide readers with a streamlined, simple approach to total health. Gedgaudas outlines how our brains and bodies work, based on fundamental human physiology and the selective pressures that have shaped it over time. The message of Primal Body-Primal Mind is positive and empowering: it is possible to re-engineer our bodies to optimal health--by remembering where we came from.
At a time when 16 cents of every American dollar is spent on health care, Gedgaudas believes it is not just possible-- but critical-- to restore the body and mind to a healthy foundation.
By eating in a way that is in harmony with the fundamental workings of the human body and evolutionary history, it is possible to:
> Reduce the need for prescription drugs and costly medical care
> Burn unwanted fat easily and effortlessly
> Skyrocket your energy
> Improve brain function and your emotions
> Save money on grocery bills
> Save untold hours in the gym
> Contribute to a more sustainable planet
> Support healthy genetic expression
Drawing on a personal and professional passion for optimal body and brain function, Primal Body-Primal Mind is the culmination of 25 years of nutritional research and 12 years of
practical experience with clients. Guiding readers through the maze of conflicting news about diet and lifestyle, Gedgaudas uncovers:
> Why soy is not a health food
> How supplements can help break our addiction to sugar
> Why the USDA pyramid is making us fat
> The clear connections between food and mood--and what to do about them
> Why low-fat diets don'st work
> The pitfalls of healthy vegetarian diets
> Which proteins are best for our bodies and how much we really need
An indispensable tool for nutrition professionals and consumers alike, Primal Body-Primal Mind provides the knowledge needed to take charge of your health while saving hundreds of dollars
on grocery bills and future health care costs at the same time.
