Book's Foreword:

Dr. William Manahan wrote "Eat for Health" to help "empower you to improve your own health." The clear steps he outlines will enable you to solve many common medical problems on your own. But his is not just another self-help book; it is the result of years of passionate effort on the part of its author to help people achieve better health. Nutrition counseling has played a major role in Dr. Manahan's large and successful medical practice. Over the years, Dr. Manahan has seen many of his patients' lives improve dramatically through simple dietary changes. With the information Dr. Manahan provides in this book, you too, can take positive steps to improve your diet and your health. Chapters dealing with caffeine, salt, sugar, fats, milk, and processed foods pinpoint specific problem areas and give the reader a better understanding of the relationships between food, health, and disease. Throughout this book, Dr. Manahan helps you identify the elements in your diet that are causing you problems. The chapters on milk and dairy products may seem revoluntionary to some readers, the concept that dairy sensitivity is related to a wide range of health problems is still not universally accepted. Dr. Manahan does an excellent job in clarifying this relationship. The best of information is of little use without an action plan. The most significant contribution of this book is that it emphasizes implementation; it shows you how to take concrete action based on your new knowledge of nutirtion and of the problems cased by certain foods. Dr. Manahan takes a "non-faddish" approach toward healthful eating habits. Drawing upon the current recommendations of the American Heart Association, the National Cancer Institute, and the dietary goals of federal health agencies, he gives the reader authentic tools for developing a healthier lifestyle. I extend my congratulations to Dr. Manahan for his excellent contribution to all of us concerned about health improvement and a healthy diet for everyone, from kids through seniors. This book will have an important place not only in the library but in the kitchens of all concerned readers. ........................ Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D. ........................
