What to eat when A strategic plan to improve your health and life through food

Michael F. Roizen

Book - 2019

"NY Times best-selling author Dr. Michael Roizen reveals how the food choices you make each day--and when you make them--can affect your health, your energy, your sex life, your waistline, your attitude, and the way you age. What if eating two cups of blueberries a day could prevent cancer? If drinking a kale-infused smoothie could counteract missing an hour's worth of sleep? When is the right time of day to eat that chocolate chip cookie? And would you actually drink that glass of water if it meant skipping the gym? This revolutionary guide reveals how to use food to enhance our personal and professional lives--and increase longevity to boot. What to Eat When is not a diet book. Instead, acclaimed internist Michael Roizen and cer...tified physician Michael Crupain offer readers choices that benefit them the most--whether it's meals to help them look and feel younger or snacks that prevent diseases--based on the science that governs them"--

Review by Library Journal Review

Internist and anesthesiologist Roizen, author of nine best-selling books (e.g., You: The Owner's Manual; RealAge), teams up with preventive medicine specialist Michael Crupain and health and science writer Ted Spiker to present a 31-day eating plan that complements our circadian rhythms, the 24-hour fluctuations in our bodies tied to the sleep-wake cycle. They suggest that eating in a way that complements our internal rhythms helps our bodies utilize and metabolize food most effectively. In addition to outlining a meal plan and discussing the science behind it, the authors offer a series of "choose your own adventure" chapters that introduce a different emotion, health condition, or situation and what foods best address them. This arrangement makes for a practical guide that can be consulted time and again, as individuals face the challenges of everyday life. If there's one weakness, it's the surprising absence of recipes to support the prescribed "When Way" lifestyle. ­VERDICT This well-organized, accessible guide to healthful eating by two well-known ­medical consultants, both affiliated with the Dr. Oz Show, is sure to be widely popular with health-conscious readers.-Crystal Renfro, Kennesaw State Univ., Marietta, GA © Copyright 2019.
