Product Description
Product Description
Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute, teaches that what we eat profoundly affects our health. She repeatedly points out how our modern nutritionless diet is a prime cause of illness and obesity, but she also offers a positive alternative. This volume presents a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, all of which is prepared without cooking, and which allows the body to regain its strength and vigour gently. It also discusses body cleansing and ageing issues, and there is a foreword by Hollywood icon Dennis Weaver.

Format:Paperback
This book gives a really good overview of most aspects that you are likely to encounter concerning a raw food diet.
There are probably books that go more in depth and some which are more exiting but as a first step into the world of raw food eating this is just the right size, giving enough quality info without overwhelming or boring you.
Ann Wigmore who I think was one of the modern pioneers of raw food eating gives plenty of scientific facts to back up what in our culture is a very forward thinking and alternative health approach which is particularly useful for those who have doubts about weather they really can live on raw food alone.
I have read and delved into a number of different books and web sources but this has probably been the most practical and useful book and one which i will refer back to from time to time.
For anyone considering a raw food diet, I have been eating raw for a few months at time of writing this and its great. I'm not fanatical about it and I still eat cooked food occasionally such as going out for dinner at restaurants or at friends houses, but generally just raw. My tastes changed to the point where the desire for junk just dropped away. It also changes your perception of life, makes you more sensitive and aware. Also, the weight just drops away but without ever becoming underweight or under nourished. Try it!

Format:Paperback
I was introduced to this book by a deciple of Ann Wigmore, who was teaching a class in living foods. After a short time on the diet I was able to stop taking my hypo-thyrodism medication forever. The book is recommended as a great starter in uncooked foods, as it is inexpensive and gives the theory behind the recipes. Chapter titles: 1) AN APPLE A DAY OR HAVE IT YOUR WAY, 2) LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE, 3) THE SECRET OF HEALTH, 4) KEEPING YOUR BODY CLEAN, 5) THE HIPPOCRATES DIET, 6) INDOOR GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS, 7) SUPER NUTRITION FROM SPROUTS, 8) WHEATGRASS MIRACLES, 9) APPLES AND ORANGES AREN'T THE SAME, 10) HIPPOCRATES DIET RECIPES, 11)THE HIPPOCRATES DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS.

Filled With Unsubstantiated Claims
I am totally supportive of improving the diet by increasing consumption of fresh foods, however this book (and others by Ann Wigmore) is filled with so many unsubstantiated claims... Read more
