Die Healthy, Pursuing the Dream of Wellness and Longevity This well-written book would be of use to any dietician, health professional or ordinary citizen who wants to improve his/her life and lifestyle. Based on her research,
Ms. Mignault believes that mismanaged insulin and blood sugar levels are the root causes
of disease. And she highly endorses the French lifestyle of smaller, healthier meals
enjoyed to the fullest, not gulped down in five minutes, as is so often the case in North
America. She explains in detail how what we eat affects our entire life…mental health, physical health, exercise, and breathing, for example. Ms. Mignault assails the government for its lack of concern for the health of the nation and not regulating the agricultural industry. The ag industry gets a bad rap for being concerned only with the big bucks. Health care professionals are chastised for wanting to take care of the sick, not the healthy. There are many suggestions throughout the book to improve our lives, from the best foods to eat for better health and exercises for overall body improvement, to personal grooming tips and breathing exercises. Ms. Mignault concludes her book with her Masterpiece Meals™ pyramid and her Daily Dietary Intake and Lifestyle Treatment Master Plan™. |
