Through changes in diet? Surely that can't be! Nevertheless, author and nutritional scientist Thienna Ho, Ph.D., managed to do just that! In her new book, Cooking on the Light Side, Dr. Ho reveals her tips for creating a path the skin and body health through "simple yet powerful" dietary changes. One of the biggest contributors to staying strong and youthful-looking, according to Dr. Ho, is eating sulfur-rich foods. Sulfur helps to transport oxygen across cell membranes in the body, and also helps the body to use oxygen efficiently. This, in turn, encourages the regeneration of cells required to keep skin and muscles healthy. In this cookbook, Dr. Ho briefly but thoroughly explains the science behind her method and then delves into a guide to high-sulfur foods and hundreds of simple, delicious recipes that make high-sulfur eating as enjoyable and nutritious as possible. Think that sounds boring? How about a scrambled egg bagel sandwich for breakfast or a hearty vegetable beef and bean soup for lunch? Chicken pot pie for dinner? And lest you think that a healthy eating plan neglects desserts, be sure to check out her recipes for cream filled chocolate layer cake and apple pear pie with whipped cream - yum!! Easy to read, easy to follow, and packed to the gills with yummy tips, Cooking on the Light Side is a must-read for anyone interested in living a healthier life without feeling deprived!
I expected just a cookbook filled with your typical low-calorie recipes but Cooking on the Light Side by Thienna Ho turned out to be so much more than that. Thienna Ho, Ph.D, is a nutritional scientist, and holder of several other advanced degrees, who happened upon a healthier way of eating that not just is lighter, but helps restore skin and total body health, and the extreme vigor and vitality that goes with that, and in her case, allows her to accomplish some pretty amazing physical feats. Thienna's philosophy and focus is to base our diets on foods that aren't just widely and erroneously known to be healthier , but to base it on foods that are rich in sulfur content. Thienna expounds upon this in her first book, Eat Your Way to Lighter Skin, and found that not only did these foods clear her of chronic skin problems, but they led to such great overall wellbeing, stamina and health as to allow her to set 4 world records of the physical variety. The recipes, along with many of the more exotic ingredients, come in photo illustrations, which is very helpful and tantalizing enough to make one want to try them. Many of the recipes are more Asian-based, and while delicious on its own, can be tweaked to suit a more western diet. I'm happy to see that more than a few of these recipes are similar to what's in my current diet, but I can definitely do better by incorporating even more of them into my repertoire. This is a cookbook (and health guide!) that I'll refer to often in my quest for better eating habits and a healthier overall wellbeing.
