| What Is "Food For Recovery " ? |
With all the "advances" made In recovery over the past years, the long term
success rate of most treatment programs is still around 15 percent. And, as
outlined in Food For Recovery, it's no wonder. Most programs treat the mind
but completely ignore the body
The bottom line is, the body takes a severe beating during the years of
alcoholism, drug addiction, and eating disorders, and there can be no full
recovery without attending to the body's needs. Research has shown that
when a traditional 12-step program is combined with an intensive nutritional
regimen, success rates rise to 80 percent.
Food for Recovery is the first book to address the nutritional aspect of recovery and is designed
to work in tandem with a 12-step program to achieve true and lasting results.
Food for Recovery explains the basics of nutrition-how your body uses food
to live-and then illustrates what happened to your body as a result of your
addiction.
Next, the book reveals how to repair the damage done and how to
eat for the rest of your life to ensure that you stay healthy-and feel your best. A
number of nutritional issues are particularly important for the recovering
person-like food allergies and sensitivities to dairy and highly refined
foods-and these are covered in detail.
The second half of the book teaches the basics of wholefoods cooking. You
will learn where to find wholefoods, how to store them, and how to cook them
to preserve their goodness. The book includes 127 wholefoods recipes
designed for busy people with no prior cooking experience.
Of the vast array of recovery books out there, here is one that actually breaks
new ground. Clear and comprehensive, this book provides real hope for
people in recovery; people who bad believed it was their fate never to feel
completely whole.
