Flemington, NJ (PRWEB) January 27, 2010 — Dr. Fuhrman is grateful for the attention that Alanis Morissette’s weight loss success has brought to him and his book EAT TO LIVE, but the bigger story here is the dramatic recoveries from life-threatening illnesses his readers have achieved following his high nutrient diet-style. Dr. Fuhrman is passionate about educating the public and stresses, “Micronutrient adequacy is needed to control appetite and food addictions. Not only is this the key to weight loss but more importantly it is the key to reversing heart disease and many chronic illnesses debilitating people everyday.”

Singing sensation Morissette put an end to her lifelong battle with weight and has acclaimed Joel Fuhrman, M.D.’s book EAT TO LIVE as the key to her success. Dr. Fuhrman emphasizes a diet composed of nutrient rich foods which are vital to weight loss, good health and longevity. He has even coined the term, nutritarian to describe the eating style he advocates.

A now trim and fit Morisette says, “This isn’t just a healthy phase. This is a way of life. I feel like my body is what it was born to be.” watch video Mehmet Oz, M.D. calls Dr. Fuhrman’s plan, “a medical breakthrough.”

Living a Nutritarian “Nutrient Rich” lifestyle is life changing. Fuhrman’s readers and online members are living proof and want to share their success . . .

Ronnie was still very ill and was certain he was not going to live much longer after failed bypass surgery and stents placed in his arteries — he was still having chest pain. As a last ditch effort, he Googled “reverse heart disease” and discovered Dr. Fuhrman’s web site. Ronnie lost over 140lbs in one year and completely restored his health. He was able to rid himself of all medications and save over $600 per month in out-of-pocket expenses! You will be astounded by his remarkable recovery.

Charlotte suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and 65 percent blocked arteries, she found Dr. Fuhrman’s book and was assured by the successes on his website. She lost a staggering 133 pounds and recovered her health including completely getting rid of her diabetes – something she didn’t think was possible.

Anthony was 33 years old, 360 pounds, with high blood pressure and frequent migraines. He had always struggled with weight. After reading Fuhrman’s EAT TO LIVE he “got it” and started making changes. Today he is without headaches, 160 pounds lighter and more energetic.

Dr Fuhrman thinks dramatic success stories, like these, achieved with natural whole foods is newsworthy and critical to consider in our present crisis of expensive and unaffordable health care. Lets make sure everyone knows how they can get well.

Joel Fuhrman, M.D., is a board-certified family physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. His other books include Eat For Health, Disease-Proof Your Child, and Cholesterol Protection for Life. In addition, to being widely published in medical journals and consumer publications, like People magazine and The Economist, he is recognized as one of the country’s leading experts on nutrition and natural healing and, as such, has appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs shows including: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, Today, Good Morning America, the Discovery Channel, TV Food Network, CNBC and others.

Dr. Fuhrman recommends light therapy to treat SAD

As the fall daylight savings transition begins, our days begin to get shorter, and as winter comes upon us we may begin to experience symptoms of light-deprivation. Our sleep can be disrupted, and we might feel depressed, moody, unmotivated, or fatigued. Lack of daylight may even cause us to socially isolate ourselves or experience food cravings and weight gain.

Humankind evolved under the outdoor day/night cycle, and it is essential to maintaining normal, healthy physiology. When there is less sunlight—many people suffer from a “winter depression,” or what is commonly known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Typically, symptoms of depression increase in the winter and subside in the spring. Light therapy can help us to feel energized and alert, and can also act to reset the body’s internal clock, naturally restoring our day/night cycle and counteracting the symptoms of light-deprivation in the winter months.

Light therapy has been shown to stimulate alertness and increase production of antidepressant neurochemicals in the brain. Light therapy has been used for over 20 years to treat seasonal affective disorder, and a 2005 meta-analysis in the American Journal of Psychiatry found dawn stimulation with a bright light to be as effective for major (nonseasonal) depression as medications. Additionally, the results occur much more rapidly than drugs, with results noted in as little as one week.

Dr. Fuhrman has researched the therapeutic lights on the market and recommends this Therapeutic Light which contains the features that medical literature reveals are critical to the effectiveness of light therapy for Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymia, Bipolar Depression, Seasonal Depressive Disorder, PMS, Insomnia, ADHD, ADD, and Bulimia Nervosa. Studies show that light therapy may also be helpful in Fibromyalgia and Postpartum Depression as well.

DrFuhrman’s Prescription for Improving and Maintaining Great Health: Nutritional Excellence

The quality of a diet can be based on three simple criteria:

1.  Levels of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals) per calorie.

2.  Amounts of macronutrients (fat, carbohydrate, protein) to meet individual needs, without excessive calories that may lead to weight gain or health compromise.

3. Avoidance of potentially toxic substances (such as trans fats) and limited amounts of other potentially harmful substances (such as sodium).

Before I created Nutrient Rich.com, Dr. Fuhrman created The Health Equation: H=N/C or Health = Nutrients/Calories (first published in 1999 in his work, The Health Equation and later described in more detail in his book, Eat To Live) to define how the quality of calories impacts health.

This equation means your future health can be predicted by the micronutrient per calorie density of your diet. Micronutrient per calorie density is important in devising and recommending menu plans and dietary suggestions that are the most effective for tackling weight loss and for preventing and reversing disease.

Dr. Fuhrman’s Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) and Menu Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (MANDI) food scoring system are featured in his book set Eat For Health, so people can easily recognize foods, meals and menus that offer sufficiently rich micronutrients to ideally meet their individual needs.

Assuring nutritional excellence means meeting an individual’s unique nutritional needs for profound therapeutic effects and and preventing, treating and reversing disease. According to DrFuhrman , dietary micronutrient quality must be increased accordingly to utilize dietary recommendations therapeutically for disease reversal or to protect high-risk individuals.

Though micronutrient density is critically important, it is not the only factor that determines health. For example Vitamin D levels, B12, and proper omega-3 intake are important for optimal long-term health as well as avoidance of sodium and other toxic excesses. These concerns are not addressed in the H = N/C equation. However, if the focus is consuming more micronutrient-rich natural foods then the other important nutritional benefits automatically will follow, such as lower sodium, reduced calories, high fiber and volume, a low glycemic index, and a high satiety and phytochemical index to name a few.

Eating low nutrient foods fuels overeating behavior.

Last, but not least, DrFuhrman ’s unique contribution to the science of nutritional care, disease reversal and weight loss is his explanation of the physiology behind hunger and food cravings.

It is important to recognize that nutrient poor eating (and toxic eating) leads to increased cellular toxicity with undesirable levels of free radicals and advanced glycation end products (AGE’s), lipfusion, lipid A2E and other toxins that contribute to the development of chronic disease. His findings are that these toxic substances lead to addictive withdrawal symptoms (toxic hunger) which result in the desire to eat more frequently and overeat. Low nutrient eating, therefore, establishes a mechanism that leads to food addictions and food cravings that can’t be ignored. This is the reason why calorie counting diets fail. Without addressing dietary quality, excess food cravings are almost impossible to ignore.

Fortunately the drive to over-consume calories is blunted by high micronutrient, high food antioxidant, (NutrientRich food) consumption and the symptoms that people thought were hypoglycemia or even hunger, simply disappear after following his dietary recommendations. Not only do people lose the symptoms of fatigue, headaches, irritability and stomach cramping, but they get back in touch with true hunger felt in the throat, which simply makes eating more pleasurable and directs them to a more appropriate amount of calories for their body’s biological needs.

In a portion controlled (calorie counting) diet it is likely that the body will not get adequate fiber or micronutrients. The body will have a compounded sensation of hunger and cravings which for most is simply overwhelming. It invariably results in people either being unable to lose weight or unable to keep the weight off and eventually gaining it back. The biochemistry and physiology behind food cravings are more thoroughly explained in Dr. Fuhrman’s books and lectures, but without a thorough understanding of these principles weight loss attempts are typically doomed to fail.

If you really want to learn what’s going on behind the scenes of why a Nutrient Rich diet works so well, why eating better not less is the way to go, tune into DrFuhrman .

The MANDI and ANDI food index’s are the most powerful out there.
