great book!! Very informative re: the affects of food on our skin and aging.
This book is a very detailed, in depth look at the skin’s aging and the foods that help with that. I found myself at times wishing that it wasn’t giving me so many details…the complete scientific hows and whys and just wanting the information about what I should eat for what circumstance, or to help with certain signs of aging. It is a great resource for someone who wants to know so much information about this and it is beautiful and well put together. It lists foods and tells what their benefits are and why, which will be great to look at in the future when I have questions about the benefits of a particular food. Overall, I found it too much information for a good self help read, but a perfect resource for when you have questions about anything related to food and your skin.
This book is beautiful to look at. The pages are glossy, the pictures
are crisp and the print is easy to read. With a book like this, I would think the author would not dedicate it to her husband “who always makes me feel beautiful,” but rather to her favorite vegetable
– which a quick glance at the index appears to be pumpkin!
I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to buy this book as a gift. Emphasis
is placed on the skin throughout and it is information you can trust,
but there are other issues brought into the light of healthy food, such as menopause, cancer and blood vessels. Whatever skin problems you think you have, this book will address them from simple acne to psoriasis, from moles to sun damage, from sagging skin to wrinkles (not a very large jump when you think of it).
The truth is that there are many other books on the market where you can find this same information, but none are presented with such a lovely “face.”
The back part of the book is filled with wonderful recipes. Some are a bit exotic such as the appealing “Brussels Sprouts with Mustard and Spicy Maple Pecans,” while others are more simple, like the
“Roasted Cauliflower and Peppers.” I, personally, would find it hard to put this book on the counter in my kitchen and try to cook from it. I wouldn’t want to stain the book, so I’d probably photocopy the recipes and use them that way.
This would also be a great book to discover in a smart doctor’s office.
I love that books like this that provide info on healthy eating, getting adequate sleep and such are mainstream now. In a society where it’s so easy if you just have the money to get a facelight or bariatric surgery is so common place, it’s wonderful that there are people out there like Allison Tannis are trying to get the message out there that, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!! I’m a Wellness Coach so within the first few seconds of seeing someone, although I obviously can’t tell what they eat, I can tell if their body looks ‘inflammed’ (puffiness), if they aren’t getting enough sleep (saggy ‘jowels’ by their nose and mouth), etc, etc.
This book is great if you are starting your journey in researching healthy foods and nourishing your skin from the inside out. For others who have been eating ‘healthy’ and have been studying for a while, I’d say that this book just may be a bit too basic for your needs since much of the information has been well circulated amongst inner health circles.
If you are looking for a breakthrough, or even just to learn something new, this is probably not the book for you, unless your knowledge of nutrition is beyond minimal. Every single “healthy” food you can probably think of is listed in this book (with the exception of milk, which supposedly might be a cause of acne) and none are really elevated as better than any of the others. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes… remember them, all those foods that have been marketed as healthy for ages? Yeah, well, not only are they healthy overall, but turns out they are also healthy for your skin. Not really much of a shocker. So, unless you didn’t know that fruit was good for you, you’re unlikely to be surprised by what you read in this book. The only two surprising foods that she mentioned were maple syrup and dark chocolate… and if I had been following health news a little more closely, the chocolate wouldn’t have surprised me either.
So, why the four stars? Simply because this colourful and crisp encyclopaedia of health foods was so deliciously pleasant to read. There is something ridiculously satisfying about knowing exactly how and why each food you eat is benefiting you. For me, this delightful little book has been a major motivator in my quest to eat better. Somehow, broccoli and Brussels sprouts taste a lot better when you can look them up, as you eat them, with a handy-dandy glossary, and read about exactly how they will strengthen, moisturize, or protect your skin. The book is divided into sections such as “foods that fight wrinkles” and “foods that brighten your complexion” which makes looking foods up even more fun. Additionally, the first couple of chapters provide a quick but useful understanding of skin and its many layers and components. Now, when I eat rhubarb, I think, “I’m tightening up my face with silica, and all that vitamin C is destroying loads of free radicals, and promoting the synthesis of collagen.” It’s nice to have a reminder as to why eating well is so important, and to know exactly what sort of impact you’re having with every single food you eat. This book is essentially a celebration of healthy foods on an individual basis, and it’s also an extremely fun, breezy read. So, enjoy!
