Dr. Johnson writes about how "we live in a world where convenience food reigns supreme and where chronic illnesses and degenerative diseases are rampant. We have let convenience outweighs nutrition. We have been conditioned to believe food must come in a box, can, or bag and be easy and quick to prepare. We eat processed and empty calories as the bulk of our diet because they are more convenient than making the efforts to eat healthily... (And then when) we do not wish to change our lifestyles and diets in order to maintain or improve our health we ask for the newest surgery or pill to save us from our poor choices."
That statement alone made me want to read this book. I know that I am one of those people. I need this book!
I LOVED that Dr. Johnson not only writes about the "Do Not's" found in the Word of Wisdom, but he also writes about the Do's :)
Clear information, personal stories, and lots of encouragement are found within these pages....just what I needed!
Dr. Johnson’s Top Ten Healthy Foods:
1. Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, etc.) – Provides beneficial DHA and EPA, which support brain, eye, joint and cardiovascular health and balance mood.
2. Berries (Strawberries, Blueberries, goji, acai, etc.) – Full of anti-aging and disease-fighting phytonutrients, including anthocyanins; support and protect brain health.
3. Oatmeal – Provides a unique fiber called beta glucan that acts as a sponge to help eliminate bad cholesterol; helps stabilize blood sugar levels to reduce the risk of diabetes; contains lignans that are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and cancer.
