The Diet and Lifestyle Guide—A Diet and Lifestyle Blueprint
by Brenda Davis, RD
This book is not just for anyone with diabetes. It contains all the perfect recommendations for anyone with cancer, heart disease, or any other chronic illness. The following is taken from the back of the book:
Research shows that following a plant-based diet not only can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes but, can also reverse the disease. Brenda Davis (Registered Dietician) deciphers the latest scientific evidence and explains why and how a whole-food, plant0focused diet can benefit anyone with this devastating disease.
Well-designed plant-based diets work because they address the root causes of diabetes. They maximize powerful protective dietary components that are concentrated in plant foods and work together to ease inflammation and oxidative stress, stabilize blood glucose levels, enhance gut micro flora, and keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check. At the same time, plant-based diets minimize the harmful components concentrated in highly processed foods and animal products.
Lifestyle adjustments in conjunction with improved dietary habits are essential for achieving and maintaining diabetes health goals. Stress management, exercise, adequate sleep, social activity, and a healthy weight all contribute to a balanced trinity of physical fitness, mental clarity, and emotional stability.
“Kick Diabetes Essentials is a gold mind for people with diabetes. It is packed with solid scientific evidence, practical guidelines, and carefully constructed recipes. Brenda Davis is my favourite go-to-dietitian. You can rest assured that you are in very capable hands.” — Michael Greger, MS (How Not To Die)
