Book Description
Winston Churchill once said that in each persons life, there comes a time when they are asked to do an extraordinary thing that is unique to them and their talents. He lamented that it would be a terrible waste if that opportunity finds them unprepared.
Humanity is currently facing a collective reckoning of sorts. For many of us, this has been the most challenging period of our lives so far. We have had to deal with changes in every aspect of our world. For those of us battling chronic illnesses, the struggle has increased manifold. Yet, at this moment, we can either continue to feel overwhelmed and scared of what the moment demands of us, or we can seize this opportunity to make our future what we havent yet dared to imagine.
It is rightly said that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. This book is an urgent, impassioned plea from one fighter to another, from this writer to the reader, to buckle up and change their life. What seems impossible now will seem possible soon. What is beyond the limits of your imagination will be your reality in a couple of weeks. If you have looked at other people and thought to yourself, that cannot be my life, or if you believe you are doomed by fate, genetics, or your patterns, this is your time to shine. I ask you to adopt a whole food, plant-based lifestyle and feel substantial results within 15 days. Not only that, I promise you that these changes will not be fleeting but will turn you towards a path of wholesome living for the rest of your life.
I firmly believe that you have everything you need to change your lifestyle and improve your health. I am not an outsider, nor do I preach from a position of privilege. I have experienced the lows you have, and the highs that I could not believe were possible. I have been riddled with diseases, fear, and addiction. I have experienced rock bottom before realizing that the only way left to go is up.
Food is my passion, and so is health. But my greatest desire is to impact peoples lives and guide them on the path to self-fulfillment and transformation. Having seen what is possible, I am eager to give back to others. This book is a heartfelt attempt at that. I am espousing neither magic nor miracles but scientifically tested results that will change your life forever. Not only that, but that change will start now.
If you are thinking, Why now? I ask you, Why not? Why not give yourself a fighting chance to have the life you deserve? Why not start the journey of a lifetime with this one step? Grab this book and your opportunity at a whole new life.
Introduction
In her famous book, A Room of Ones Own, Virginia Woolf wrote, One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well. Food for thought, indeed. We turn to food for so much: strength and sustenance, calm and comfort, familial love and nostalgia, and escape and indulgence. Food is potent; this much we know. And like anything with power, food can be used as an instrument of harm as well as good. Food can poison us, and food can heal us. We have always known this innately, but we have only recently started to acknowledge just how profound the connection between food and life truly is. Why is this important? Because we now know to pick up our prescription in the kitchen rather than from the pharmacy.
As a nation, the United States knows a thing or two about prescriptions. Yet, today, we find ourselves riddled with diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, to name a few. In addition, overweight and obese children are becoming obese adults and falling prey to a slew of lifestyle disorders. Add to that autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, chronic illnesses, and health conditions caused by advancing age; we are looking at an epidemic of dangerous proportions. And this is before the Coronavirus pandemic hit us in 2020.
The pandemic has been a strange time in our lives in so many ways. Although there has never been a greater fear of death and disease around us, there has also never been a better time for a collective reckoning. For the first time in a long time, we have come face-to-face with both the dangers of low immunity and poor health in terms of our ability to combat diseases and how healthy eating can bring us joy and hope. Having been stuck at home without our usual recourse to fast food, we have before us the option of changing how we consume food, and in the process, changing our lives.
Food: Medicine and Magic
If saying that food can be transformative sounds dramatic, it is anything but. The effects of having good food can look and feel magical but are also scientific. This book talks of adopting a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet and promises results in as little as 15 days. Does that sound like a tall claim? It shouldnt, and heres why. While it takes time for the ill effects of a highly processed, high-fat, and meat-based diet to show up, it takes shockingly little time for the reversal effects on our body. Since Nature itself is highly potent, these effects take time, and anything that vibrates with its frequency can swiftly cultivate restoration.
Before we go deep into the health benefits of a WFPB diet, let us try and understand the lives of those riddled with chronic health conditions and lifestyle diseases. And who better to start with than yours truly?
The Story of My Life
Who am I? I am Hughie Parks. I grew up in Ohio, the middle one of three siblings. I have worked in the food industry for over 11 years as an experienced cook, and I have spent more than five of those years in a health-conscious restaurant. But I am not among the preach but don't practice crowd. Why? Because I have been where you are, dear reader.
