8 Weeks to Optimum Health
Weil doesn't come on with a hard sell to give up every bad
habit or all of the foods you enjoy. Instead, he suggests gradual
changes: clean your pantry of whatever cooking oils you have
there, except olive oil; start taking vitamin C three times
a day; walk a few minutes a day; eat some fish and broccoli.
The program is so simple and sensible that anyone trying it
probably will feel better in a week. The program gets progressively
more involved--more supplements; more of a shift toward a diet
based on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; more exercise.
Besides these steady changes, each week's program has a focus
In week
2, you start drinking bottled or filtered water
3 focuses on organic produce; week
4, on sleep
5, using a steam bath or sauna
6, trying a "universal tonic" like ginseng
7, volunteering in your community; and finally
8, figuring out how to integrate permanently the elements of
the program into your life.

Eating Well For Optimum Health: The Essential Guide to Bringing
Health and Pleasure Back to Eating
Hopefully, years from now, Eating Well for Optimum Health
will be looked upon as the book that saved the health of millions
of Americans and transformed the way we eat--not as the book
we overlooked at our own peril. It clarifies the mishmash of
conflicting news, research, hype, and hearsay regarding diet,
nutrition, and supplementation, and further establishes the
judicious Dr. Weil, the director of the Program in Integrative
Medicine at the University of Arizona, as a savior of public
well-being. If you've ever wondered what "partially hydrogenated
soybean oil" really is, been perplexed by contrary news reports
about recommended dosages for supplements, or questioned the
safety of using aluminum pots for cooking, Dr. Weil will make
it all clear. More

The
Healthy Kitchen: Recipes for a Better Body, Life, and Spirit
Eating Well for Optimum Health, one of Amazon's best-selling
health books of 2000, alternative-medicine maverick Andrew Weil
revealed his version of the ideal diet (and backed it up with
scientific proof): a variety of unprocessed, or "whole" foods;
just-picked, organic vegetables; whole grains; "good" fats,
such as the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts; fresh
herbs and spices instead of heavy sauces; and a minimum of meat
and dairy products. Eating this responsibly is certainly an
admirable pursuit, but home cooking of this caliber can be intimidating,
requiring much more energy than it would to pull up to the drive-through
and order a burger and fries. In The Healthy Kitchen,
Weil successfully teams up with Rosie Daley, formerly chef at
the ritzy Cal-a-Vie Spa, to show how to cook with confidence
within these dietary guidelines, creating dishes that are not
only good for you, but are also fun to prepare, beautiful to
look at, and delectable. More
