Self-Help Health
We Americans may reside in the greatest nation on earth, but
our lifestyle is killing us. One-quarter of us still smoke,
two-thirds of us are fat, three-quarters of us don't
exercise, and stress and depression are ubiquitous. We wolf
down oversize portions of fast food in minutes and boast of
not having taken a vacation in years. We get misinformation
like "olive oil is healthy" but then get fatter because
drizzling three tablespoons of oil on a salad adds as many
calories as two scoops of premium ice cream. Despite all our
advances in drugs and surgery, obesity and the diseases it
causes have shortened life expectancy; this is the first
time in history that children can expect to die younger than
their parents. The Pritikin Program was the first
comprehensive lifestyle program in America, and after fifty
years on the cutting edge of lifestyle science, it is still
the longest-running, most successful program for reversing
many of modern society's diseases, including obesity, heart
disease, and diabetes. What sets Pritikin apart from the
myriad of other diets is that its program is based on real
science. Pritikin doesn't make random claims or base advice
on half-truths or fads; Pritikin's effectiveness has been
proven and documented in more than 110 scientific
studies. You've picked up this book because you want to
change your lifestyle, improve your health, and live longer,
and with the program in these pages, you can start reversing
the effects of years of unhealthy living today. Here
you'll find the ten simple lifestyle ingredients that will
change your life. Stick with them and you'll lose weight
without feeling hungry, your energy will surge, and you will
look and feel healthier and stronger than you have in years.
Included are more than 75 recipes for flavorful and
healthful dishes, detailed meal plans, and tips for dining
out healthfully and happily. You'll learn what kinds of
physical activities are most effective and how to make the
most of your time on the road or in the gym. You'll get sets
of simple exercises you can do anywhere that will make you
strong, help you shed fat, and keep you toned. The real
science of lifestyle and heart health, from fat molecules to
heart attacks, is described in accessible terms, and popular
diet myths are debunked. You'll find out why lowcarbohydrate
or other fad diets won't help you lose weight in the long
run and why they won't improve your overall health. The
Pritikin Edge gives you the real facts so you can take
control of your health and add years to your life and
quality to your years. Once you begin living with these
principles, you'll wonder how you ever lived any other way.
