My Favourite Books
/
There is so much information out there about health and nutrition. It can be overwhelming and discouraging to see so much contradicting information.
One of the questions that I get asked the most is “have you read this book?”. I try to make it a part of my job to read as many of the new books that come out. I have a list of about ten to work through at the moment! But here are some of my favourites that I recommend.
The first book is my absolute favourite. “Death By Food Pyramid” by Denise Minger is an essential if you’re wanting to understand the politics behind nutrition. She has a very direct way of writing while still managing to find humour in it. Definitely a good read!
“Eat The Yolks” by Liz Wolfe is another one of my favourites (ok, they’re all my favourites). She has such a great sense of humour and helps to dispel many of the myths of nutrition. This is a great read for people who are confused about what diet might be the best for them.
“Food, What the Heck Should I Eat?” by Mark Hyman, MD, is another great one for simplifying nutrition. There are always new studies that say a type of food is healthy for you and then two weeks later tell you it will give you cancer. Mark helps to break it down into simple terms.
Dr. Josh Axe is a big name in natural health and he has an awesome book called “Eat Dirt”. This book talks about the digestive tract, the microbiome, and why being hyper clean might not be the best for our health. It gives some great tips throughout the book for what you can do to strengthen your digestive tract. This is a must read if you suffer from any digestive issues at all.
I know I’m going out of nutrition a bit with this next book, but if you really want to know what is on your food, then this book helps with that. “The Myth of Safe Pesticides” helps to teach why pesticide use is not great for us or the environment. I know it is a very complex subject and can be frustrating but this book helps to break it down.
“Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon has been around for a while but it is still one of my favourites. She talks about the Weston A. Price diet and the best traditional recipes to help with infertility, digestion, and general health.
Let me know if you’ve read any of these, are planning on reading any of these, or what your favourites are! I’m always adding to my list of books to read.
