Dale Pinnock, aka The Medicinal Chef, is angry about the nonsense that is being touted today to myriad eager dieters. Is it raw food, cooked food, gluten-free, dairy-free, high-fat, low-fat, meat, meat-free, paleo, macrobiotic, five-a-day, seven-a-day? We may be hungry for health information but ultimately, we are confused by this never- ending stream of information.
With a degree in human nutrition and postgraduate diploma in nutritional medicine, he has the real credentials to sort the truth from the fad, and he says there are certainly some very strong patterns of evidence emerging about the role food plays in many of the modern- day diseases that are becoming epidemic in our society. With this in mind, he believes there are three factors we should be aware of when thinking about the type of 'diet' to follow.
Blood sugar
Keep away from the foods that will assault our bloodstream with glucose and compose our meals correctly to control the release of sugar.
Fatty acid balance
Reduce our intake of omega 6 fatty acids, and increase consumption of omega 3, their happy, healthy, and all-round virtuous twin.
Nutrient density
Look for opportunities and make the right ingredient choices to maximize nutrient density at every meal.
The Power of Three explains these three principles of health and brings them together in every recipe. These are straight-forward, beautiful and delicious recipes with a minimal number of ingredients (and not a chia seed in sight) that will help you be able to make better choices every single day and build your entire life's diet on healthier foundations.
