Book Cover & Preview Text
Review from ForeWord Clarion Reviews: “Life is in the blood, but our health is in the pH of the blood, and the pH of the blood in what we breathe, drink, and eat,” Dr. Herbert Zeng writes. “Therefore optimizing your nutrition makes you healthier and helps you live longer.” This explanation about the need for an intentional diet comes from the introduction to Nutrition Optimization for Health and Longevity. Zeng, a senior scientist who specializes in the optimization of drug and nutritional formulations, has written a working manual to help readers design their own personally optimized diets. His book is filled with detailed information and includes extensive bibliographical references, a glossary, and an index. Each section provides an overview of the topic discussed, including elements, macronutrients, micronutrients, antioxidants, and blood pH. Zeng then gives specific information about vitamin and mineral; the ORAC values of foods; the necessary amounts of daily air, water, and nutrition; and formulas that can be used to calculate one’s own needs based on height, weight, and exercise level. More than one third of the book consists of tables. Formulas and examples are also given, so that each person may calculate their own needs, evaluate their nutrition, and plan dietary changes for better health.
