The New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live and Super Immunity and one of the leading experts on preventive medicine offers a scientifically proven, practical program to prevent and reverse diabetes—without drugs.
A breakthrough program to combat the rising diabetes epidemic and help millions of diabetics, as well as those suffering with high blood pressure and heart disease. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Research director of the Nutritional Research Foundation, shows you how to live a long, healthy, and happy life—disease free. He offers a complete health transformation, starting with a diet with a high nutrient-per-calorie ratio that can be adapted for individual needs.
Dr. Fuhrman makes clear that we don’t have to “control” diabetes. Patients can choose to follow better nutritional guidelines that will control it for them, even before they have lost excess weight. The end result is a medical breakthrough—a comprehensive reversal of the disease.
Armed with a nutritional plan devised and tested over 20 years (on more than 10,000 patients), Dr. Fuhrman outlines a simple plant-based diet for diabetes that can put anyone back in shape. All you need to do is follow one easy formula:
Your Health Future (H) = Nutrients (N) / Calories (C)
This formula, Fuhrman explains, means your health is determined by the nutrient-per-calorie density of your diet. When you eat more foods that have a high-nutrient density (green vegetables, berries, beans, mushrooms, onions, seeds) and fewer foods with a low-nutrient density, your health will drastically improve and your diabetes will slow down. He strongly believes that the body is designed for wellness and when you give your body the necessary tools (in the form of nutrients), it will heal itself.
Eat Better. Curb Diabetes. That’s the true essence of The End of Diabetes and Dr. Fuhrman successfully manages to put that across in the most engaging way possible. With meal plans and recipes, backed by solid science, this page-turner shows you how you can take charge of your health by just eating better. The book also goes into great detail about how the standard diet causes diabetes, how the disease evolves, and how traditional medical treatments affect the course of the condition.
To sum the book up, The End of Diabetes is designed not just for diabetics, but for anyone who wishes to lead a disease-free life. What makes The End of Diabetes so convincing is not the fact that Fuhrman is an esteemed doctor who’s a specialist in the field. It’s that all his advice is derived from his patients’ remarkable stories and medical histories. The nutritarian diet he prescribes has helped thousands shed their weight and lead a fulfilling life. Any diet with such a high success rate is surely worth a shot.
The crux of the book is this: Type II diabetes can be prevented and reversed with a nutrient dense diet of plant based foods.
