The Good Life is killing us. Chronic diseases have established a stronghold in our society representing 75% of our national health care costs. And the best modern medicine can do is to manage the symptoms of these modern killer diseases. But hope comes from Loma Linda, California, the capital of the American Blue Zone of long livers. Why do these people who represent not just a geographic Blue Zone but a cultural one, have only half the rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and excess weight, and why do they have lower risks for arthritis, colon and prostate cancer? Let this family- style cookbook reveal some of their secrets. Here you find delicious, inexpensive recipes that will contribute to better health and longer life. These are not recipes with outlandish ingredients. Instead, this book is offering families some of their favorite American foods but with a healthy twist. This book offers you something better.
