Finished reading: Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman 📚

My primary takeaway is to eat more natural / plant-based food. More concretely: I came away from the variety of factors Fuhrman presents with motivation around and some tricks to support implementing the changes to act accordingly.

One of the more interesting propositions was that the beneficial mechanisms behind the fruits and vegetables we eat aren’t fully understood just yet. This could explain why isolated nutrients (and activities / actions) often don’t achieve all of the benefits of the original source.

While the beginning comes across strongly and the overarching book is compelling, it criticizes the structure of arguments made by others but then seems to make those same errors later on in support of its own narrative. Walking away from the book, I’d say I enjoyed it and appreciated it as a front-loaded text with clear call-to-action.
