Overview
An innovative new cookbook
designed to promote a hearthealthy
lifestyle and to
prevent disease
The rising numbers of overweight people in
the world is leading to increasing occurrences
of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and
diabetes. If readers are not eating at least
five servings of vegetables and fruits a day—
and very few people do—then they are
paying a much higher price for their meals
than they know. This cookbook and nutrition
guide is the road to better health, now!
The fact of the matter remains that we are
what we eat. Medical research has conquered
most of the acute diseases, but the
chronic ones, the stubborn ones that plague
our health care systems, can be prevented by
wiser food choices and treated by wiser
food choices.
This is the perfect time to publish this cookbook
full of gorgeous healthy recipes contributed
by food councils across the country.
Dietitian and nurse Clara Schneider helps
readers pick and choose their way into the
wider world of great-for-you foods. She
names the nutrition all-star foods and
encourages people to try at least one bite of
each recipe.
Clara Schneider, M.S., R.D., R.N., L.D., C.D.E.
(Newport, RI) has been practicing in the field
of diabetes for more than 25 years in all areas
of caregiving, from clinics and hospitals to
public health and home nursing. She has personal
experience with chronic disease, having
lost a family member to complications from
diabetes.
