According to Dr. Christine Wood the risk of developing degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity can be significantly reduced through proper nutrition beginning in childhood and continuing through adulthood. Wood outlines in her book ways of minimizing (and in some cases eliminating) symptoms for other non-degenerative diseases such as allergies, asthma, and attention deficit disorder (ADD) through environmental control, nutritional supplementation, and a balanced childhood diet. DR. CHRISTINE WOOD is a practicing pediatrician in San Diego County. She holds a medical degree from the University of Michigan, a lactation educator certificate from the University of California, San Diego, and completed her pediatric residency at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Currently, she lectures on the role of nutrition supplementation in the lives of children to parents and physicians worldwide.
Well, it was mostly a review for me but if you're just starting on your journey to making better food choices for you/your family this would be a good one to start with. What a liked best about this book was that it started with some general chapters but then also broke information down by age group (infant, toddler, preschooler, school-age, adolescent). Does a good job of outlining vital nutrients we need to prevent diseases rather than trying to treat them later!
