Food affects our body, mind, and health in many remarkable ways. And certain foods work together in ways that are almost magical. In this groundbreaking new eating plan, Dr. Michael Murray identifies foods that act together to produce a total effect or force that is greater than the sum of the individual foods--what is known as a synergetic effect. Research shows there's a tremendous synergetic effect that the healing force of nature exerts through each food and each food component. As the foods work together, they improve your energy and your physical and mental health. Michael Murray's years of research and clinical experience have led to a definitive understanding of how specific foods affect us. He presents his findings on phytochemicals and other nutrients and why they're the new "vitamins"; discusses specific healing foods and how to combine them; and explains the principles to follow for eating the most synergetic foods every day. Here also are practical and prescriptive recipes and helpful guidelines for better and delicious eating. All this is in a usable, accessible, entertaining guide that you will turn to again and again as you develop your own personalized program for using food as medicine"-- You are what you eat -- What should we eat for health and longevity? -- AMPk: activating the enzyme of youth, longevity, and weight loss -- Why dietary fats are essential -- The power of plant pigments -- My favorite superfoods -- Spice it up! -- The synergetic diet with recipes -- Food as medicine Adult Michael T.
