The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program by Ann Wigmore - For over thirty years, Ann Wigmore, founder of the renowned Hippocrates Health Institute, has taught that what we eat profoundly affects our health. As an internationally acclaimed wholistic health educator, she has repeatedly pointed out how our modern “nutritionless” diet of convenience foods is a prime cause of illness and obesity - a fact that is only now being confirmed by the American medical community.
Unlike most other critics, she offers a positive alternative to today’s “empty” diet. Developed over a twenty-year period at the Hippocrates Health Institute, one of the nation’s first and finest wholistic health centres, the Hippocrates Diet allows the body to correct its problems naturally and at its own pace. Through a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and such super nutritious foods as sprouts and wheatgrass juice, all of which are prepared without cooking, the body is able to restore its internal balance. As the body regains its strength and vigour, its capacity to maintain its normal weight, fight disease, and heal itself is enhanced.
While a practical handbook for healthful living, The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program also discusses body cleansing, disease prevention, life extension, and the problems associated with aging. It includes dozens of easy to follow recipes and money-saving health tips.
It is never easy for anyone to break an eating habit of a lifetime, even if that habit may be doing more harm than good. However, as Ann Wigmore aptly points out, ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own health. When you are ready to make the decision to lose weight, regain youthful energy, or prevent illness, The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program can be your guide.
