Hearing about some of his encounters and exchanges (of which I occasionally encounter on Instagram) was brilliant.

Despite confusing me at times, it certainly is very interesting and a good topic for debate and conversation! Following bariatric surgery she lost a lot of weight – but unfortunately this has not been the magic switch to cure everything else. is to eat more fruit and veg, more fibre in terms of legumes and beans, include dairy and oily fish and to eat less red and cured meats. Yet, despite this, throughout the book, he is outstandingly authoritative and respectful of different views (e. because it can't be the alkaline water crazies lol), I'm left knowing that we all just have this one life and just do the best we absolutely can without driving ourselves up a wall during the one precious life we are given.Dr Wolrich draws on the evidence base to deftly, indisputably, and thoroughly explain why so much nutrition and 'diet' advice in popular culture is based on inaccuracies, dodgy 'science' and sometimes downright lies invented to make money and/or attain fame.

Food Isn’t Medicine wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning. Of course they bloody do because modern medicine works and IT IS effective but food and especially plants and herbs definitely can have major impact on our health and wellbeing!

Its a delicate and sometimes precarious dance to either develop and/or maintain a healthy relationship with food.

Put another way: “If the nine studies that came before you were negative, and yours came out positive, you’re not groundbreaking, you’re an outlier.We are living longer than ever before due in great part to public health efforts and modern medicines. There is so much diet stigma, deeply encapsulated myths and straight up nutrib*llocks (best word in the human language in my opinion). Thanks to Netgalley, the author and Penguin Random House UK for the opportunity to review this audiobook in exchange for an honest opinion . But, after initially feeling conflicted and confused, I now feel knowledgeable and empowered and positive. But saying that "food isn't medicine", even if true in the fact that is normally not used in curing most diseases in their formation, would be to dismiss the fact that a life-long sustaining of stable diet (which of course not universal to everyone), while also having enough good quality sleep, adequate physical excrecise, healthy social relationships and livelihood are good determinations of preventing diseases in the first place, and providing the individual a better coping mechanism while already being sick.
