About this audiobook

HealthStyle is the 21st Century program for promoting vigor, preventing disease and extending your lifespan.

If, up until now you have relied on luck, genetics and a few healthy practices to achieve this goal, SuperFoods HealthStyle will be your authoritative, engaging, introduction to a new, better, life. Like SuperFoods Rx, the authors' bestselling book, SuperFoods HealthStyle takes the most recent, cutting-edge, research on what lifestyle practices have actually been proven to achieve disease prevention and improve daily functioning -- both physically and mentally -- and translates this information into simple recommendations that you can use to improve your physical and mental health now and in the future. It is about making simple, but significant changes to get the most out of life for the rest of your life.

SuperFoods Rx is based on a simple but profound premise: some foods are dramatically better than others for our health and longevity.

Steven Pratt, M.D., witnessed the positive results that occurred when his patients changed their diets to include certain powerhouse foods -- those he has identified as SuperFoods. Backed by research on 14 of the most nutrient-dense foods, this audio gives you the tools to more energy, protection against disease, and a healthy lifestyle.

    If you have no idea what foods are good for you and how to live healthily, this will tell you. This book is for health beginners, though. If you're already pretty healthy, a lot of this will be stuff you already know. There's also a lot of "this food is related to cancer prevention" that isn't sufficiently backed by research.

    This is the kind of book that is good to read through but not a keeper--particularly if you've read and own the original book by Pratt on the subject, SuperfoodsRX. I thought that book better structured, with each of the 14 "superfoods" getting a chapter and a section following with Menus, Recipes and Shopping Lists. The "Healthstyle" book is structured by season, and I find that harder to pull information out of, despite the topic index. I do appreciate Pratt's approach to nutrition--it seems solid and mainstream and the opposite of extreme, faddish or puritanical. This book was worth a read through for the added foods spotlighted (among them apples, avocado, cinnamon, dark chocolate, honey) the tips on them and sleep and exercise--but I found little here that was new to me, particularly having read the other book--a favorite I frequently reference. That one is a keeper--this one more a book to borrow from the library and take a few notes from.

    I'm constantly trying to figure out simple, practical ways to make sure that my family and I live the healthiest life that we can. We walk the kids to the park rather than drive, I've switched ground turkey for ground beef in nearly all of my recipes, and I read nearly every book I can find on exercise, diet and health that I can get my hands on. Now, I take everything I read with a grain of salt, but this book is pretty good. I initially borrowed it from the library, but I ended up picking up my own copy once I realized that there was a wealth of yummy recipes in it. I'm not naive enough to think that I can get my five year old to eat a 2 cups of raw spinach, an apple, an orange, 1/2 cup of beans, oatmeal, honey, 1 - 4 cups of tea, kiwi, and tofu every day, but I can work to incorporate these foods into our daily life more often. I don't know if it will help her live longer, or to have a healthier life, but I'm pretty sure that eating more fiber, and fresh fruits and vegis isn't going to hurt her. And it isn't going to hurt my husband or I either. This book was really well written. I read it straight through from cover to cover, but it would be just as easy to just read about the food or conditions that you are interested in. There are tons of recipes and advice on getting more exercise and sleep, and decreasing stress levels. I think that it could be overwhelming if you started to read this book and told yourself that you had to eat everything that the author is recommending every day, but if you take his information and consciously attempt to incorporate them into you diet more often, this book becomes a helpful tool.

    Dr. Pratt expands on his earlier book, Super Foods Rx (see my review), by adding 10 more important foods and by considering what is required for optimum health in addition to good nutrition, these being exercise, adequate sleep and stress management.I read this type of book, not only to learn things, but to motivate me to do right, and Pratt's and Matthews's two books are among the best, I think. Roizen's and Oz's books are broader and have good information, but I am so turned off by their super cute style, that I can only read them in short sessions. Dr. Pratt's style is clear, reasonable and not cute..
