Nourish

The Definitive Plant-Based Nutrition Guide for Families

De: Reshma Shah MD MPH, Brenda Davis RD

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

An evidence-based, practical resource that explores the many benefits of a plant-based diet and provides parents with the tools they need to feed their families for health and with joy.

While nearly all parents agree that a nutritious diet is important for children to thrive, most feel that their children are not eating a healthy diet. This is not surprising, given the demands of busy families and confusing, conflicting research about what diet is really best for health.

Nourish offers the solution parents have been waiting for when it comes to deciding what and how to feed their families. Authors Reshma Shah, MD, a plant-based pediatrician and affiliate clinical instructor at Stanford University School of Medicine, and Brenda Davis, RD, a world-renowned expert and pioneer in plant-based nutrition, will empower parents to become the experts of nourishing their families.

Parents will learn:

• How a diet centered around plants can optimize health, prevent chronic disease, care for our planet, and be an act of radical compassion.
• Nutrition specifics for all the stages of childhood - from pregnancy and breastfeeding all the way through adolescence.
• Tips, strategies, and mouthwatering recipes to bring all of this information to their dinner tables as they transition to plant-based eating.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent resource

This is absolutely must read for all families of young children and would be parents. The information is critical to helping parents navigate the tricky world of nutrition for their families. The book is well written, easy to follow, and goes through all ages of children’s development. I highly recommend. The narration of the audible book is very well done and easy to listen to.

Mostly good, but some flip-flopping around dairy

The book is mostly good and backed by science, but around dairy, the author keeps flip-flopping. On the one hand, the author states that dairy causes intestinal bleeding, anemia, and diabetes in infants, and other health issues in children and adults, including reproductive cancers, which is absolutely backed by science, and on the other hand the author states that in families who prefer to use dairy products, they are recommended. It's either recommended because the science shows low health risk and a health benefit, or it's not recommended because the science shows significant health risks. Preference plays absolutely no part in the conversation. The book is either about health-promiting eating habits or not.
