Do you know your medicines might make you ill?
This book tells how you can reduce your dependence on medicines. The sooner you adopt, the healthier you live. Go disease-free!
Over the years, we have been repeating the same eating mistakes that our parents made. This is the reason why the prevalence of diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis is increasing in the population over time.
In Eat to Prevent and Control Disease, research scientist and registered state pharmacist La Fonceur will tell you how foods that work with the same mechanism as medicines can naturally prevent and control disease. How can you build your body in such a way that you do not need medications even in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s? How can you prevent disease even if you have a family history of that disease? How can you control chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and many others?
With a better understanding of the disease, you can control it yourself. When you follow the advice and preventive measures given in the book, If you do not have any disease, then in the future also you will not have any disease. If you are already suffering from a disease, you can control it without medicines. If your disease is chronic and you are dependent on medicines, then you can reduce the dose of your medications as well as their side effects.

As my spouse was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes we knew there would be changes needed to be made to his diet. It’s overwhelming when dealing with this at the beginning. This book came at the perfect timing for us and was such a helpful tool in making this lifelong lifestyle change

As a person who is a chronic sufferer of high blood pressure, arthritis that isn't psoriasis, rheumatoid or osteoporosis, and suffering from pre-diabetic issues, I've done my best to follow the Author's recipes. It was a struggle to find some if the ingredients, but I recognized this as more Ayurvedic medicine, and I respected it more. I have followed the book for more than a month now, and some of my pain has been reduced. Have even lost a few pounds! I would give this book 5 stars, but it was a very hard struggle to find and get all of the ingredients, especially on a disability income. That is my issue, of course, but my situation is indicative of a lot of people in the same boat in life. I give kudos to the author in writing and doing her best to heal us. Thank you and bless you, Ms LaFonceur!

This book has some really good diet insights for some. It contains lists of nutrient rich, disease fighting, immune boosting, and super foods. It also gives some very specific guidelines and tips for increasing health and fighting off disease. But its limitations are that it focuses mainly on fighting diabetes, hypertension and arthritis.

It also has a diet plan section with recipes, but I'm not sure I could even find some of the items listed there. The recipes seem really strange to me. They are not common types of food I'm aware of. That's not a bad thing, its just uncomfortable. I could try a couple of those recipes and end up being so delighted that they become regular additions to my routine. But the whole collection being strange to me at the beginning makes them feel a little overwhelming. I would definitely suggest trying one or two for fun before trying to make a whole new plan from what's offered here.

Bottom line: some people will get more helpful tips here than others, but probably anyone can find something useful. It doesn't address my specific health issues, and parts of this book would work against me. But even I am taking some notes that I will apply. We can all benefit from increasing our knowledge of nature's edible gifts.

BOOK : EAT TO PREVENT AND CONTROL DISEASES
AUTHOR : @la_fonceur

🍎 'Eat to prevent and control diseases' by @la_fonceur is a book where you'll find huge number of substitutes for medicines which includes fresh veggies, fruits and products, you could easily find at home.

🍅 The book is divided into four parts. Each part contains different elements. In the first part the author has very precisely described the role of food to prevent diseases, its intake, it's advantages and disadvantages.

🥬In the next one ( which I feel is very important ) there is an information about prevention and control of common chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, etc..

🍓The entire third part is dedicated to a diet plan and the last one has recipes! ( The most important right )

🍏 The book is a complete guide for a healthy life.
It contains all the clinical knowledge about the diseases like hypertension, arthritis, diabetes. How to keep them in control and what are do's and don'ts.

🥝 There are the pictures of various fruits, dry fruits,pulses, cereals which makes it a more interesting read.

🥗 This book will be very helpful not only for you but for your whole family as its a perfect guide to a healthy life.

🍎I really found the recipes mentioned at the end very helpful!

🥕 The writing style is very lucid and understandable and is on point. I personally feel that everyone must read this book!

Am usually someone that does not read much of self-help books but I am so glad that I actually decided to read this book. One of the main reasons I picked this one up was the title indeed. As someone who keeps ignoring health and self care and someone who eats quite a lot of junk🙈 this book was very intriguing... This book is a very informative book and has lots of information on how to prevent and cure diseases naturally by eating the right food ! It helps one understand that our body and health is merely a reflection of what we eat.. It also makes one realise that eating food is not only to satisfy your hunger but fight your diseases and keep you healthy. Some of the food combinations to avoid and to consume and some nutritional value of fruits and vegetables are something beautifully highligted.
It focuses on super foods, its combinations , benefits and how to consume them. The author has also added so many health tips and also recipes in this book making it a fun read also !. Whatever we eat now is not only going to keep us protected now but is a shield you wear for your old age to come. We know that so many people these days suffer from Diabetis , blood pressure , arthretis etc and following some of the tips in this book for the same could come in very handy..The main message of this book is that to prevent yourself from suffering from these kind of health issues at old age we should effectively and wisely make use the days of our youth..

This book is nutrition and health guide that every house should have . I would also strongly recommend this read to people like me who let health take a back seat and prioritise different things over food and health. Also recommend it to homemakers who are looking for tips and recipies to cook nutritious food for your husband and kids.. Overall this read was an eye opener with a great message and reminder !

A must read for Health-conscious readers!

Reviewed in India on September 21, 2020

This book is an interesting blend of information, recipes, myth-busting, and loads of health-care tips.

As the title suggests, it reflects upon the need to eat food not only as a source of nutrition but also as a tool to fight diseases.

The author talks about foods that should be our best friends- like garlic, turmeric, flax seeds, fruits, legumes, dried-fruits, dairy products and obviously green leafy vegetables.

She busts a couple of myths in the beginning itself, stressing that our health in old-age is directly proportional to the food that we eat in our youthful days!

The book describes major lifestyle diseases like diabetes, arthritis, hypertension and the nutrition needed to supplant (not cure) the medicinal treatments!

My views:

I loved the flax seeds laddu recipe given in the end of the book and would definitely give it a try!

Through this, I learnt that basil leaves and paracetamol should not be consumed together!(guilty of doing this one) and many such other facts.

It taught me interesting food combinations that are not only tasty but also healing!

With the market now flooded with books that discuss the healthy eating habits and also provide tips that can help one achieve a balanced diet, it becomes very difficult to rate the books. The USP is the only factor based on which one can choose one out of the plenty! Eat to Prevent and Control Disease is yet another book that discusses the foods that lead to the onset of ailments like diabetes, hypertension, etc and also mentions the foods that can help combat these illnesses and keep the troubles at bay.

Written deftly with well-researched data, this book offers informative content in lucid language. The author has divided the book into several sections (four, namely). The first section deals with the different kinds of foods that can aid in preventing diseases. The second part discusses the onset, progression, control and treatment of some of the most common diseases. The third part deals with the foods and recipes that can help one fight these diseases and the last part gives suggestions that can help one include these foods/ diet plans into one’s lifestyle.

I liked the book because it doesn’t cover all things in one go. The author only chooses three diseases to talk about and that limits the content of the book. It is said that little knowledge is a dangerous thing and the author, I think, takes this seriously, for she brings forth detailed information about some of the most common illnesses. Overall, it is a good endeavour and the information provided is definitely helpful.
