Description: Why do the
relatively poor native populations in Mexico and Africa have such low levels of
the chronic diseases that plague the United States?
Why is the rate
of seasonal affective disorder in Iceland—a country where dreary weather is the
norm—so low?
Why is it that
older women in Okinawa have such low breast cancer rates that it is not
considered cost-effective for them to get screening mammograms?
The Jungle
Effect has the life-changing answers to these important questions, and many
more.
Whether it's the
heart-healthy Cretan diet, with its reliance on olive oil and fresh vegetables,
the antidepressive Icelandic diet and its extremely high levels of omega-3s,
the age-defying Okinawa diet and its emphasis on vegetables and fish, or the
other diets explored herein, everyone who reads this book will come away with
the secrets of a longer, healthier life and the recipes necessary to put those
secrets into action. The Jungle Effect is filled with inspiring stories from
Dr. Miller's patients, quirky travel adventures, interviews with world-renowned
food experts, delicious (yet authentic) indigenous recipes, and valuable diet
secrets that will stick with you for a lifetime.
