Optimal nutrition - Jan Kwaśniewski

Optimal Nutrition is the first English-language guide to Dr. Jan Kwasniewski's optimal diet. (Note: Diet here doesn't mean a temporary limitation or elimination of certain foods, but rather a proper way to eat for life.) The book gives all the information needed to begin the diet, including practical principles for applying the diet in daily life, the effect the diet has on healthy people, and how it treats various diseases. To make starting the optimal diet even easier, Optimal Nutrition also contains recipes for a full week's menu. Table of Contents Preface PRINCIPLES OF THE OPTIMAL DIET 1.
