"Perché limitarsi a gestire il diabete quando lo si può eliminare per sempre? ""Per prevenire e far regredire il diabete non servono i farmaci, ma un cambiamento radicale del nostro modo di mangiare"".Dottor Joel Fuhrman A differenza di quanto vi è stato detto finora, il diabete non è una malattia cronica. Non è una condanna destinata ad abbreviare l'aspettativa di vita o a causare ipertensione, cardiopatie, insufficienza renale, cecità o altre malattie potenzialmente mortali. In realtà, quasi tutti i diabetici possono sospendere l'assunzione dei farmaci e tornare sani al cento per cento solo adottando poche regole. In queste pagine il dottor Fuhrman, specialista qualificato in materia di nutrizione, ci rivela come possiamo prevenire e far regredire il diabete e le relative complicanze recuperando al tempo stesso il peso forma. La fine del diabete è un'idea radicale espressa in un programma estremamente semplice: mangiare meglio per sconfiggere il diabete. Con oltre 50 ricette, gli esempi di menu (colazione, pranzo e cena), le risposte alle domande più frequenti, i consigli per medici e pazienti questo libro ci dimostra, con un linguaggio coinvolgente, semplice e diretto, che diabete, cardiopatie e ipertensione non sono conseguenze inevitabili del processo di invecchiamento: sono reversibili e prevedibili con un'alimentazione sana.
