Introducing a new authoritative report on Eating for Optimal Health from the editors of the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter…

 

 

 

Dear Reader:

 

You've heard it a thousand times.

 

"You are what you eat."

The idea of eating right for better health has been pounded into our heads for decades.

Today, it's an idea whose time has come ... and one that's right on the money. For eating healthy can pay big dividends -- in improved health, increased vitality, and greater longevity -- to men and women who are choosey and deliberate about what they pile onto their plates.

Unfortunately, many of us "talk the talk" when it comes to eating right ... but don't "walk the walk."

It's not simply a matter of will power. Though it can take a fair amount of that to bypass your favorite "guilty pleasures" in favor of safer -- and healthier -- foods.

But most of us simply aren't up to date on how to shop, cook, and serve balanced, nutritious meals for optimal health and wellness.

Take a simple snack food like nuts. You've probably read that they are fatty, salty, and high in calories. And indeed, they are.

But research now suggests that nuts can, in fact, help with weight control. And studies have consistently linked nuts to a reduced risk of heart disease, largely because nuts have a favorable effect on blood cholesterol.

What about fruits and veggies? We've been told that raw is best. Cooking boils the nutrients out.

Well, tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene, which may help prevent prostate cancer.

However, cooked and processed tomatoes have 2 to 10 times more lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Apparently, cooking increases lycopene's bioavailability.

Hardly a week passes without headlines announcing some new study or discovery in the field of nutrition.

It could be a cancer-fighting vegetable ... a diet that claims to lower cholesterol ... or a food -- like eggs -- previously considered harmful that turns out to be healthful ... or vice versa.

Fortunately, there's an authoritative, absolutely current resource you can turn to for evidence-based guidance on how to eat for optimal health. And you may preview it risk-FREE in the privacy of your home or office ...

The Wellness Report on Eating for Optimal Health

 

With thousands of books ... articles ... Web sites ... reports ... and clinical studies on eating for optimal health, no single person can keep up with all of the new developments in nutritional research. It would be a full-time job--and you probably already have one of those!

Also, unless you're an M.D. yourself, do you really have the background to separate the good science from the hype?

That's where the Wellness Report series from the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter can help save you time and money while improving your health.

Our editorial advisors, all M.D.s or Ph.D.s with impressive credentials in their specialties, conduct an exhaustive search of the medical literature on a particular topic -- in this case, eating for health and wellness.

They then review the research to ensure that it's based on scientifically sound methods ... and to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the findings.

Next, our editors painstakingly convert medical jargon, formulas, and statistics into clear, plain English. I know you'll find it fascinating reading -- and useful.

Here's a sampling of what you'll discover in our just published UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Eating for Optimal Health --


  • There's no magic fix for being overweight -- no diet pill, supplement, or fad diet.  But by choosing these foods, you can fill up on fewer calories yet still feel satisfied.  Page 38.

  • The Mediterranean diet can help keep your heart healthy -- and maybe even help you lose weight.  Here's how to navigate this cuisine.  Page  20.

  • How much sugar is too much sugar?  It's very easy to exceed these new recommended limits set by the American Heart Association. Page 12.

  • These vegetables contain substances that are thought to have anti-cancer properties.  Find out which ones they are -- and why supplements are not a good substitute.  Page 30.

  • "Free radicals" -- unstable molecules in your body -- can damage your cells.  Here's a food that ranks high in antioxidants to help neutralize them.  Page 17.

  • Most of chocolate's potential health benefits come from these compounds.  How you can tell which products contain the most.   Page 18.

  • Why this "natural" sweetener from a cactus-like plant -- the same plant that tequila comes from -- is no better than other sugars. Page 37.

  • Can yogurt boost immunity?  Help your digestion?  What to make of the claims.  Page 26.

  • Pomegranates, acai, and goji berry -- just how super are these "superfoods"?  Page 34.

  • Unhealthy trans fat is being phased out of many processed foods.  But here's a label loophole you should know about. Page 9.

  • Don't like milk?  These nondairy beverages, including one made from hemp, can give you many of the same important nutrients --  and more.  Page 28.

  • Much of the heart benefit of wine and other spirits comes from the alcohol.  But this juice probably has at least some of the same benefits as red wine. Page 33.

  • If you want to boost your bone health, this yogurt ingredient may help increase calcium absorption.   Page 27.

  • Why you might want to go easy on potato chips.  It's not just that they are high in fat and calories.  Page 42.

  • Say cheese?  Find out what health benefits this dairy food may have.  Page 28.

  • Many people favor local foods, thinking they are better for their health and for the environment.  Here's the truth behind the locavore movement.  Page 44.

  • The whole (grain) story of pasta -- when this carbohydrate is good for you.  Page 24.

  • All nuts are healthy, but recent research shows that this one in particular may help lower your cholesterol.   Page 6.

  •  The high-fructose corn syrup in soda and many other foods may not be worse than regular sugar, but there's still good reason to cut down on it.  Page 37.

  • Whole grains are better for you than refined grains.  These seals on packages can steer you in the right direction.  Page 24.

  • What's the deal with sprouted grains?  Are they worth their extra price?   Page 25.

  • Can an orange a day keep the doctor away?  Citrus foods offer more than just vitamin C.   Page 32.

  • But if you take certain medications, here's why you should avoid grapefruit juice.   Page 33.

  • 6 foods rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that may reduce your risk of heart attack.  And food sources may be better than E supplements.  Page 52

 

And so much more...

 

Stop eating "junk food"--and start eating healthy!

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 3 out of 10 American adults 20 years of age and older -- over 60 million people -- are obese. That means they are 30 or more pounds over a healthy body weight.

Ironically, while our stomachs are full -- even bulging -- our bodies are malnourished and starved for vital nutrients ... simply because we don't eat right.

But the good news is: you don't have to be fat ... or sick ... or unhealthy ... or malnourished any longer.

Because right now, the UC Berkeley Wellness Report on Eating for Optimal Health can help you make better, healthier eating choices -- at the grocery store, in the kitchen, or when dining out.

The Truth About Salt and Your Health

 

And Why Potassium May Be the Antidote

 


  • What Should You Believe About Salt? A low-salt diet benefits many people with hypertension. But cutting down on sodium is important even if you don't have high blood pressure.

  • Salt Tips. Sodium lurks in unexpected places. Some fast food meals have three to five days' worth of sodium, in one sitting. What to watch out for.

  • Sodium Substitutes. These are a good option for many people. They help reduce blood pressure and heart disease deaths when used in place of table salt. But they are not for everyone.

  • Potassium Power. If sodium is a bad guy, then potassium is a good guy, since it helps lower blood pressure. Unfortunately, most of us consume far too little of this vital mineral. Here's why you should get your potassium from food, not supplements.

  • Making It Add Up. A Sample Menu. How can you get up to the recommended 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day? A sample menu shows you how it can be done.

    • You can literally "eat your way" to better health, more energy, and a trimmer, slimmer you!
