What the Heck Should I Eat?

De: Mark Hyman MD MD

Narrado por: Mark Hyman MD MD

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman sorts through the conflicting research on food to give us the skinny on what to eat.

Did you know that eating oatmeal actually isn't a healthy way to start the day? That milk doesn't build bones, and eggs aren't the devil?

Even the most health conscious among us have a hard time figuring out what to eat in order to lose weight, stay fit, and improve our health. And who can blame us? When it comes to diet, there's so much changing and conflicting information flying around that it's impossible to know where to look for sound advice. And decades of misguided "common sense," food-industry lobbying, bad science, and corrupt food polices and guidelines have only deepened our crisis of nutritional confusion, leaving us overwhelmed and anxious when we head to the grocery store.

Thankfully, bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman is here to set the record straight. In Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? -- his most comprehensive book yet -- he takes a close look at every food group and explains what we've gotten wrong, revealing which foods nurture our health and which pose a threat. From grains to legumes, meat to dairy, fats to artificial sweeteners, and beyond, Dr. Hyman debunks misconceptions and breaks down the fascinating science in his signature accessible style.

He also explains food's role as powerful medicine capable of reversing chronic disease and shows how our food system and policies impact the environment, the economy, social justice, and personal health, painting a holistic picture of growing, cooking, and eating food in ways that nourish our bodies and the earth while creating a healthy society. With myth-busting insights, easy-to-understand science, and delicious, wholesome recipes, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? is a no-nonsense guide to achieving optimal weight and lifelong health.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Our country faces huge challenges. Every Citizen must be healthy, creative and energetic if we are to adequately address those challenges. With Food, Dr. Mark Hyman has given every American a clear and straightforward field manual on how to get and stay healthy, for themselves and for our country. We must get a little healthier now or the cost of health care will sink our economy in the not too distant future. This practical book could not have come at a better time."—Congressman Tim Ryan, Ohio, author of The Real Food Revolution

"Just about every time someone leaves the doctor's office, they are told to exercise and eat well. Sadly, at this point in our collective human history, there is still not wide consensus on how to do either properly. With nutrition in particular, it feels like near daily whiplash. Yesterday coconut oil seemed a panacea, by tomorrow you may hear it causes heart disease. Dr. Mark Hyman, who has diligently dedicated his life to wellness, has a new book that may offer some much-needed relief. Food goes between the lines of nutrition research, providing a clear roadmap for the confused eater."—Sanjay Gupta, MD

"Dr. Hyman eloquently answers what may well be the most important question we all ask ourselves every day. Food brings the very best in nutritional science to a place of clarity and implementation for everyone."
—--David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain and Brain Maker

"Mark Hyman knows as much about food and our health as any human being alive. His new book, Food, is an invaluable guide to what we should eat and, perhaps more importantly, what we shouldn't, to get healthy and stay healthy."
—Gary Taubes, author of The Case Against Sugar

"Finally, a book that puts common sense and integrity back into the discussion about what to eat -- despite decades of being fed a steady diet of nonsense by so-called 'trusted authorities.' Bravo, Dr. Hyman. this book is good medicine."—Christiane Northrup, MD

"Food has turned out to be a much more powerful medicine than we were all taught, yet for so many of us, the many different diets available paint a confusing picture. In his new book, Dr. Mark Hyman has provided exactly what we need: an expert analysis, clear-headed description, and effective solution to what the heck we should all be eating to optimize our health and longevity. This may be the most important book you read on this critical topic, and Dr. Hyman is one of the precious few with both the expertise and writing skill to make this information available and digestible."—Dale Bredesen, MD, author of The End of Alzheimer's

"In a world of increasing dietary anxiety, Dr. Hyman offers a roadmap to respecting food as medicine."—Mehmet Oz, MD

Good info snothered w/ save the planet andself ads

long winded and over emphasises topics and website ads. Good science and data on topics.

It's Okay But Not Practical Long Term

An okay diet to follow. I need more of the carbs he says are okay. I have a very physical job. I get hungry naturally and can' follow this diet. He says to follow the diet and customize it a bit to find what works for you though. Be patient but take with a grain of salt. It will also take some time to reset your body but the results are worth it a little. I especially like how I am keeping my blood sugar low so I am not quite as hungry all the time. My gut also feels a bit better. Highly recommend for those serious about changing their health through diet while maintaining a healthy balance of real food.

A great guide to excellent eating!

I enjoy Dr. Mark Hyman's conversational way of writing and how he provides all the science as well as a straight forward do and don't list format.

learned alot!!!

made me change the food I buy and eat! if nothing else, opened my eyes on how important to eat mostly organic.

Wish I had known this info for decades!

I have read several books by Dr. Mark Hyman. I particularly love this book because it is a synopsis of most of the other books. How I wish I had known this info when I was young. How much healthier I would have been my whole life. And, as a mother, how I wish I had fed my children this way and had taught them that food is medicine.

Best health book

I have read a lot of health and diet books but this one was the best. Bought 3 of the hard copies to send to sisters

This book is awesome!

I love how this books explains it all. It addresses all the hypes out there and helps you understand food! I will be purchasing this book as a gift for all my family and friends. More people need to understand how misleading the food industry has become.

Insightful

Brilliant! And knowledge to back up with science! I recommend this book for everyone to creat awareness for a healthy lifestyle!

Excellent information for health!

Only suggestion is for Dr. Hyman to slow down his speech a little and pronounce the words more clearly. Some sentences were spoken quickly and words run together without pauses and clear intonation.

Great presentation of what we know now about food

Great presentation of what we know now about food. Mark does a great job of providing a dispassionate analysis of historical food mistakes along with current more enlightened understanding — all backed up by published studies — devoid of food industry influence. Well worth everyone’s time. This should be a featured in grade school health classes!
