Within the United Kingdom (UK), most mainstream healthcare practitioners receive little or no nutrition education during their years of training. …
As a consequence, the understanding of nutrition amongst primary care practitioners such as general practitioners, pharmacists, midwives, and practice nurses is limited and is largely focused on energy consumption and obesity. There is little knowledge of the wealth of micronutrients that underpin health, nor of the ticking timebomb of insufficient intakes of those micronutrients amongst a significant proportion of the population in the UK. The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals is a step towards redressing that balance. It sets out an informative and engaging narrative on how and why nutrition is the basis for good health. It discusses UK-specific issues with regards to diet and intakes of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and other micronutrients. It also raises concerns about the potential negative health implications of the generally poor UK diet and suggests ways that healthcare practitioners can support patients in improving their long-term health outlook. Nutrition policy in the UK needs to be dragged into the 21st century and this book sets out evidence-based arguments which challenge current public health myths such as the idea that 10 micrograms of vitamin D is all anyone needs or the messaging around the consumption of saturated fat vs highly processed seed oils or that everyone can get all the nutrients they need from a varied and balanced diet. Although The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals focuses on concerns around poor diet and the consequent micronutrient inadequacies in the UK, the nutritional detail is relevant no matter where you are in the world. Everyone eats, all the time. It is time that mainstream medicine looked towards food as both a cause and a solution to many of the chronic degenerative conditions that plague modern life.
Come mierda: No comas mejor, deja de comer peor
By Julio Basulto. 2022
El libro más descarnado de Julio Basulto. «Una brújula para evitar el mareo en este mar confuso de oferta despiadada…
de malos alimentos, de falsas creencias y mucho aficionado.»Dra. María Neira, directora de Salud Pública de la OMS Mientras que la comida contaminada mata en toda la región europea a unas 5.000 personas al año, la chatarra comestible provoca anualmente, solo por enfermedades cardiovasculares, 2,1 millones de fallecimientos. ¿Te imaginas cuántos kilos de ultraprocesados consumimos al año? Ante una tragedia de tal magnitud, Julio Basulto justifica que si la palabra «mierda» se define como «cosa mal hecha o de mala calidad» (según la Real Academia Española de la Lengua), los comestibles de mala calidad nutricional debemos incluirlos también en dicho concepto. Come mierda aborda, por tanto, el gran tema alimentario de nuestros días. Explica la diferencia entre alimentos seguros e inocuos, nos empodera, desarma los tentáculos con que la Big Food promueve ambientes alimentarios que generan obesidad y enfermedades crónicas y demuestra que cuidarnos no significa solo comer mejor sino, sobre todo, dejar de comer peor. Reseñas:«Come mierda es un libro para que la población deje de comer lo que, según nos muestra Julio, come en demasiadas ocasiones.»Dra. María Neira, directora del Departamento de Salud Pública de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (@DrMariaNeira) «Comemos mierda, sí, y lo sabemos, pero Julio Basulto nos ofrece todos los datos y estudios científicos necesarios para que sepamos de forma fehaciente el por qué. Julio nos explica cómo, bajo una falsa sensación de seguridad, las multinacionales llevan años vendiendo productos malsanos, con la connivencia de las autoridades y nuestro desconocimiento. Habrá un antes y un después en tu forma de alimentarte cuando leas este libro.»Patricia Fernández de Lis, redactora jefa de Ciencia en El País (@pflis) «Pasión. Pasión es lo que hay en cada página de este libro. Pasión serena de un nutricionista no solo por la alimentación saludable o por la responsabilidad social. También pasión por la información contrastada y por los datos basados en la evidencia científica. Una pasión que, por aplastante, a veces resulta incómoda, pero que es necesaria para avanzar hacia una sociedad más sana, crítica y sostenible.»Carles Mesa, director del programa «No es un día cualquiera» en Radio Nacional de España (@CarlesMesa) «Todo lo que ha escrito Julio Basulto es de una calidad y utilidad enormes, que se sustenta en su impecable documentación científica, en su independencia, en su honestidad... y en una narración magnífica. Pero créanme, este libro es de imprescindible lectura en el momento actual del planeta y la sociedad. Con el mismo rigor de sus obras anteriores, nos muestra la magnitud de la "intoxicación" alimentaria, cómo identificarla y cómo combatirla. Leerlo, informarse bien y actuar es absolutamente urgente. Gracias Julio, por dar este importante paso a favor de la salud.»Dra. Clotilde Vázquez, jefa del Departamento de Endocrinología y Nutrición de la Fundación Jiménez Díaz (@VazquezDoctora) «Basulto desgrana en cada página los estudios que prueban que el consumo de ultraprocesados está generando una sociedad con mayor obesidad, menor esperanza de vida y más probabilidades de desarrollar enfermedades como el cáncer o la diabetes. Comemos mierda, pero creemos que "la vida es un suspiro" que lo merece: después de leer este libro te replantearás lo que te llevas a la boca con esa excusa y, más aún, aquello con lo que alimentamos a la infancia.»Clara Jiménez Cruz cofundadora y CEO de Maldita.es (@cjimenezcruz)

Badass Vegan: Fuel Your Body, Ph*ck the System, and Live Your Life Right
By John Lewis, Rachel Holtzman. 2023
A &“wake you up&” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us fat, sick, and tired—from…
the Badass Vegan. As John Lewis, aka &“The Badass Vegan,&” says, when most people meet him, vegan isn&’t the first word that comes to mind. He&’s six-foot-six, African American, with the build of a guy who played Division I college basketball. Not bad for someone who hasn&’t had any animal protein in fifteen years. Lewis became a plant-based eater when he saw how the conventional American diet was utterly failing his community. As he describes, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic pain are killing Black people faster than any gun. The issue of food injustice is huge and complex, but as Lewis tells his strong community of followers, one solution is simple: Wake up now and do better in your own life. Want to give the middle finger to the processed food and pharmaceutical industries that are keeping you fat, sick, and tired? Go plant-based. Badass Vegan offers an irreverent and eye-opening four-part master plan to help readers shift their mindset and enjoy the massive health benefits and pure pleasures of a plant-based lifestyle. Lewis demystifies going vegan and makes it realistic—even if you&’re intimidated by a whole avocado (Lewis once was, too)—with rock-solid advice on stocking a pantry, getting your nutrients, building strength, shedding excess weight, and ultimately creating sustainable change for a lifetime of health. Complete with 75 recipes for delicious food that&’ll keep you motivated, from Jack U Up Street Tacos to Cucumber Watermelon Smoothies and Kimchi Nori Maki Rolls, Badass Vegan is a timely and profoundly needed manifesto for living a life with a lower risk for disease and making a positive impact on the world.
