Adequate nutrition is the foundation of good health. Unfortunately, much of what is available to consumers on store shelves and in eating establishments offers many calories, little nutritional value, and unhealthy additives. Thankfully, it is possible to transform the way we eat so that food is not harmful, but instead is medicine that helps our bodies function properly, heal from illness, and potentially protect us from future disease.

In a practical guide for the eating experience in our modern multiethnic society, Dr. Nicholas H.E. Mezitis relies on his professional experience to help others understand the reason for balance on the meal plate and rhythm in the timing of meals, while explaining the relationships between varying diet trends and suggesting choices that contribute to a healthy and productive life.
