Food for Thought: A New Look at Food and Behavior

This well researched look at food as a key ingredient for your health is easy to read, full of examples of what food causes what behavior, and why the energetics of food is so important. Modern nutrition does not take energetics into consideration regarding symptomatic behaviors, for example, contraction can make you irritable and expansion can make you overactive. Meat is contractive, sugar is expansive. Modern Western nutrition is based on fragments, such as taking vitamins and drugs without even trying to improve health with food changes. Miller gives examples of case studies that show symptom improvement with food only. Well worth the time to read this.

Clear, consise, and the most complete presentation of information to inspire people to make informed choices and look at eating and its correlation with our behavior and health. As a healer-teacher I recommend this book to students and clients as a handbook on the subject. Balance, awareness and intelligence are imperative in nurishing ourselves to be happy and healthy. Saul and JoAnn Miller cover the subject from: Types of foods and diets, ancient wisdom, food combining, expansion-contraction, 10 basics of sane eating , non-foods, sugar, suppliments and drugs beautifully.
