Summary:
"In this revised and updated edition of the bestselling
Eat
,
Drink
, and Be
Healthy
, Dr. Walter Willett, for twenty-five years chair of the renowned Department of Nutrition at the
Harvard
T.H. Chan
School
of Public Health and Professor of Medicine at
Harvard
Medical
School
, draws on cutting-edge research to explain what the USDA guidelines have gotten wrong--and how you can
eat
right. There's an ever-growing body of evidence supporting the relatively simple principles behind
healthy
eating
. Yet the public seems to be more confused than ever about what to
eat
. The never-ending promotion of celebrity and other fad diets gets in the way of choosing a diet that is
healthy
for both you and the planet that we all share. So forget popular diets and food trends. Based on information gleaned from the acclaimed Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Study, which have tracked the health and
eating
habits of thousands of women and men for more than thirty years, as well as other groundbreaking nutrition research, this revised and updated edition of
Eat
,
Drink
, and Be
Healthy
provides solid recommendations for
eating
healthfully and living better and longer. Dr. Willett offers eye-opening new research on choosing foods with the best types of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and the relative importance of various food groups and supplements. He clearly explains why controlling weight, after not smoking, is the single most important factor for a long,
healthy
life; why
eating
some types of fat is beneficial, and even necessary, for good health; how to choose wisely between different types carbohydrates; how to pick the right protein "packages"; and what fruits and vegetables--not juices!--fight disease. Dr. Willett also translates this essential information into simple, easy-to-follow menu plans and tasty recipes. Revised and updated, this new edition of
Eat
,
Drink
, and Be
Healthy
is an important resource for every family."--From publisher.
