Balance is achieved here with a sound diet, a doable exercise program, and stress reduction strategies - all sensible and clearly presented.
Taub (a pediatrician and family doctor, currently the ``Wellness Medical Doctor"" for QVC) isn"t presenting anything astonishing here, such as: ``recent statistics prove . . . six of the ten most common deadly diseases in the United States are known to be influenced by food."" However, his advice is absolutely sound, and Taub isn"t afraid to stand firm on unpopular positions or take on the misleading food marketing giants.
Start children out right, plan meals using a nutritional ``ladder"" with fruits, vegetables, starches, and grains on the top rungs (abandon the four basic food groups, even the newer food pyramid is still slightly off base), and examine nutritional studies and advice for marketing and other biases before accepting their results and recommendations.
Taub helps readers develop, first, an individual health profile, then a four-week plan for remedial action as needed; this is complete and clearly organized with all the necessary nutritional and exercise information and recipes. Yes, another diet/exercise/lifestyle plan but a sensible, well-based one.
Written in clear and straightforward language, this invaluable book introduces the concept of Integrative Medicine -- a safe, effective strategy that combines the best of modern medicine with a person"s own personal resources for healing.
