At the relatively young age of 26, Adam Hart felt he had hit rock bottom. As he describes it, he was "living in an overweight body, extremely stressed and experiencing depression and anxiety attacks." He was also suffering with asthma and had developed an allergy to fresh fruit. Already feeling that he was living off medications, he had just been prescribed another drug, this time for high cholesterol. In the doctor's office, he was then told he was pre-diabetic. Adam puts his situation down to having spent most of his life up to that point as a human "doing" rather than a human "being." He decided then and there, in that doctor's office, to completely turn his lifestyle and his health around. Five years after embarking on a "journey of self-discovery," Adam is proof of what making a real commitment to personal health and wellbeing can look like. He has lost over 40 pounds, reversed his pre-diabetic state and eliminated his daily depression, saying that he now lives his life with "abundant health and happiness." In The Power of Food, Adam shows us how we can also achieve "abundant health and happiness" by eating foods with power. Power foods--whole, natural foods such as nuts, seeds, grains, legumes and beans, fruit and vegetables--are packed with nutrients and vitamins. The Power of Food shows us how to prepare and cook these foods-- simply--to make delicious meals. Much more than a collection of recipes, this book contains detailed profiles of 24 key power ingredients from each food group, for example, "The Power Nuts" (pistachios, almonds, pecans and cashews). With their whimsical titles and fresh takes on traditional favourites, the recipes in this book are sure to appeal: Outrageous Olive Tapenade Hungry Hungry Hummus Nude Pad Thai Oh My, Kale Gomae!
