"Barnard provides readers with a way to use food to protect against chronic and terminal health problems caused by the excess hormones that are lurking in our diets"-- Provided by publisher
Hidden in everyday foods are the causes of a surprising range of health problems: infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flushes, and much more. All of these conditions have one thing in common: they are fuelled by hormones that are hiding in foods or are influenced by the foods we eat.
Die Ernährung hat einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Prävention von Krankheiten wie Bluthochdruck, Diabetes, Allergien und Osteoporose, wie zahlreiche Studien belegen. Besonders wichtig ist jedoch die Rolle der Ernährung bei der Krebsprävention und -bekämpfung, die oft zu wenig beachtet wird. Forschungen zeigen, dass viele Lebensmittel nicht nur vorbeugen, sondern auch helfen können, Krebs zu bekämpfen. Dr. Barnard, ein angesehener Arzt und Krebsforscher, präsentiert in seinem bahnbrechenden Werk die neuesten Erkenntnisse. Lebensmittel, die Hormone beeinflussen und das Krebswachstum fördern, sollten aus der Ernährung gestrichen werden. Stattdessen wird eine ballaststoffreiche, fettarme und fleischlose Kost empfohlen, da sie Östrogene reduziert und den Darm reinigt. Auch Milchprodukte sind zu vermeiden, da sie das Risiko für Prostatakrebs erhöhen können. Antioxidantien, die in Obst und Gemüse reichlich vorhanden sind, gelten als Krebskiller, während Vitamine und Spurenelemente das Immunsystem stärken. Das Praxishandbuch bietet detaillierte Informationen über Obst- und Gemüsesorten mit schützenden Substanzen, Tipps zu Zubereitungsarten und leicht nachkochbare Rezepte, um den Einstieg in eine bewusste Ernährung zu erleichtern. Es ist nicht nur für Krebskranke von Nutzen, sondern kann allen helfen, gesünder zu essen.

"Thanks to research at major medical centers which you will read about in this volume, we now have a much better understanding of what causes weight problems and how to conquer them. Getting lasting results is so much easier than struggling with old-fashioned diets, a wonderful relief if you have been through the diet routine a time or two. The outcome of this research is a breakthrough called the negative calorie effect. It does not mean that some foods have no calories. It means that certain foods are naturally modest in calories and that they actually increase your calorie-burning speed for hours after a meal... The negative calorie effect allows you to lose weight without counting calories or setting strict limits on how much you eat, and lets you enjoy eating again." - from the PREFACE by Neal Barnard, M.D.
