Il Bibliotecario: Diretto Nel Formare Classare E Continuare Una Pubblica Biblioteca (1863)

This is a self-help book that provides a comprehensive review of the nutritionally related diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cancer, anemia and osteoporosis; tells you how to evaluate your own risks for them; and suggests guidelines for avoiding them. The program is based on the Prudent Diet, which was introduced over fifty years ago. It is not very different from the typical American diet, and it includes foods and supplements with protective effects apart from their nutritive valueayet appealing to your individual tastes. You do not need to sacrifice your most treasured values for a few added years. Quality of life is as important as length of life. Good nutrition is a necessary ingredient for both. You may need to make some simple changes, but it is not necessary to sacrifice the pleasures of life.
