Review & Description
"I knew what it was to really live rather than endure a mundane existence as so many do." In these words Kate Hatcher Porter sums up the result of her years of technical training and practical experience in nutrition. While desperately ill herself. the author learned the full meaning of the saying, "You are what you eat." The body, she discovered, must maintain the correct balance of nutrients before the buoyant health so necessary to a happy, productive life can be attained. Her studies have shown three distinct types of human nutrition: Cleansing - a largely liquid diet, rich in nutrients, that allows the body to rest and cleanse itself during periods of illness. Growth - meals high in proteins and carbohydrates suited to childhood and the reproductive years. Maintenance - the diet for later years, when emphasis is shifted from rich growth foods to those supplying large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Diet alone is not a cure-all, or course. The author also stresses the importance of proper posture, breathing and relaxation, which allows the body to take full advantage of the nutrients it receives, and the beneficial effect of cheerful, healthful thoughts.... A look Into New Life contains many menus and recipes suitable for different types of diets and seasons of the year. These clearly presented, delicious recipes allow the reader to test Mrs. Porter's sound ideas in her own kitchen. Read more
