Dear Reader:

You’ve heard it a thousand times.

"You are what you eat."

The idea of eating right for better health has been pounded into our heads for decades.

Today, it’s an idea whose time has come … and one that’s right on the money. For eating healthy can pay big dividends — in improved health, increased vitality, and greater longevity — to men and women who are choosey and deliberate about what they pile onto their plates.

Unfortunately, many of us "talk the talk" when it comes to eating right … but don’t "walk the walk."

It’s not simply a matter of will power. Though it can take a fair amount of that to by-pass your favorite "guilty pleasures" in favor of safer — and healthier — foods.

But most of us simply aren’t up to date on how to shop, cook, and serve balanced, nutritious meals for optimal health and wellness.

Take a simple snack food like nuts. You’ve probably read that they are fatty, salty, and high in calories. And indeed, they are.

But recent studies show that nuts are also rich in vitamin E, fiber, copper, potassium, magnesium, folic acid, and other B vitamins. So they can help prevent heart disease — even lower your risk of diabetes — when eaten in moderation and without salt.

What about fruits and veggies? We’ve been told that raw is best. Cooking boils the nutrients out.

Well, tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene, which may help prevent prostate cancer.

However, cooked and processed tomatoes have 2 to 10 times more lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Apparently, cooking increases lycopene’s bioavailability.

Hardly a week passes without headlines announcing some new study or discovery in the field of nutrition.

It could be a cancer-fighting vegetable … a diet that claims to lower cholesterol … or a food — like eggs — previously considered harmful that turns out to be healthful … or vice versa.

Fortunately, there’s an authoritative, absolutely current resource you can turn to for evidence-based guidance on how to eat for optimal health. And you may preview it risk-FREE in the privacy of your home or office….

Available now: the 2008 Wellness Report Eating for Optimal Health

With thousands of books … articles … Web sites … reports … and clinical studies on eating for optimal health, no single person can keep up with all of the new developments in nutritional research. It would be a full-time job — and you probably already have one of those!

Also, unless you’re an M.D. yourself, do you really have the background to separate the good science from the hype?

That’s where the Wellness Report series from the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter can help save you time and money while improving your health.

Our editorial advisors, all M.D.s or Ph.D.s with impressive credentials in their specialties, conduct an exhaustive search of the medical literature on a particular topic — in this case, eating for health and wellness.

They then review the research to ensure that it’s based on scientifically sound methods … and to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the findings.

Next, our editors painstakingly convert medical jargon, formulas, and statistics into clear, plain English. I know you’ll find it fascinating reading — and useful.

Here’s a sampling of what you’ll discover in our just published UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Eating for Optimal Health 2008 —

• Why you shouldn’t eat processed foods made with trans fat — even “diet” versions with all the trans fat removed. Page 8.

• A surprising, convenient, and compact source of heart-healthy fats. Page 11.

• “Free radicals” — unstable molecules in your body —can damage your cells. On page 17, you’ll find 14 delicious foods with more than enough antioxidants to neutralize these dangerous free radicals.

• 15 simple steps to a healthy diet: foods to avoid, foods you should eat, how much to consume, and whether to take dietary supplements. Page 7.

• Which diets can help you lose weight faster — low-carb/high-fat or vice versa? The answer may surprise you. Page 26.

• There’s no better source of heart-healthy omega-3s than eating fish. So why do doctors warn you to limit fish consumption to just 12 ounces a week? Page 35.

• By drinking two to four cups of coffee daily, you might help reduce your risk of diabetes. Drinking coffee may also help you avoid Parkinson’s disease, gallstones, and liver damage. Page 40.

• To keep your sodium intake at recommended levels, limit or steer clear of these 18 salt “land mines.” Page 19.

• Can drinking tea actually improve your health? Here’s a review of the latest research on tea and heart health, body weight, cancer, bone health, and your brain. Page 41.

• Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health, yet many people have low blood levels of D. Must you take vitamin D supplements to get enough? Page 44.

• 5 foods rich in a key mineral that your body needs to produce DNA. Page 58.

• A dietary key that can help raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Page 33.

• Buying premium brands of canned tuna because of mercury worries? Don’t. “Gourmet” tuna is often much higher in mercury than the popular brands of light tuna sold at your local supermarket. Page 35.

• Need calcium but hate milk? Two non-dairy beverages that can give you all the calcium you need. Page 8.

• You can get more than a third of your calories from fat and still eat healthy. But there’s one type of fat that’s better than all the others. Page 8.

• How a hydrogen atom in your food can cause you to gain weight. Page 10.

• Silvery metal used in flash bulbs may prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. And you may be getting the amount you need just by drinking water! Page 57.

• Your guide to healthy carb consumption. Page 12.

• 24 delicious foods that give you all the potassium you need — which helps control blood pressure and other vital functions. Page 21.

• Plenty of potassium isn’t great for everyone, however — it’s crucial that some of us limit our intake. Page 23.

• Think the beef you’ve just bought is free of hormones and antibiotics? You better know what the label actually means. Page 30.

• As you get older, your ability to absorb this necessary nutrient may get harder and harder. What to do. Page 51.

• Why canned salmon you buy at the supermarket can be healthier than more costly fresh salmon. Page 36.

• Diet sodas contain no calories. But do they actually help with weight loss? Page 39.

• Dietary fiber has no nutrients. No calories. And your body cannot manufacture enzymes to digest most fiber. So why should you consume 25 grams of fiber daily? Page 25.

• It’s easy to choose foods that contain the most beta carotene — and so maximize its disease-fighting potential — if you know this simple tip. Page 47.

• Why none of us, even women, needs to take an iron supplement unless a physician advises it. Page 57.

• Need to drop some pounds permanently? Why neither the Atkins or Zone diets are the solution. Page 26.

• Scientists warn not to rinse poultry, since rinsing it can easily spread bacteria. But if you find the notion of eating unwashed poultry unappealing, you can wash it and minimize the risk if you follow our directions. Page 32.

• Why tiny fish — like herring and anchovies — are likely to contain less mercury than big fish like swordfish and tuna. Page 34.

• 7 foods rich in niacin — an essential coenzyme that helps keep your skin, nerves, and digestive system healthy. Page 48.

• Dairy products are an easy way to get calcium and other important vitamins and minerals. But what if you don’t like dairy? Here are the best alternatives. Page 45.

• Compelling evidence that omega-3s don’t just help your heart, but may offer brain protection as well. Page 35.

• Nobel prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling advocated taking massive doses of vitamin C. But there is little evidence that it can either prevent or cure a cold. Page 51.

• 6 foods rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that may reduce your risk of heart attack. Page 53.

And so much more….

Stop eating "junk food" — and start eating healthy!

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 3 out of 10 American adults 20 years of age and older—over 60 million people—are obese. That means they are 30 or more pounds over a healthy body weight.

Ironically, while our stomachs are full — even bulging — our bodies are malnourished and starved for vital nutrients … simply because we don’t eat right.

But the good news is: you don’t have to be fat … or sick … or unhealthy … or malnourished any longer.

Because right now, the UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Eating for Optimal Health 2008 can help you make better, healthier eating choices — at the grocery store, in the kitchen, or when dining out.

You can literally "eat your way" to better health, more energy, and a trimmer, slimmer you!
