Your Guide to Spanish Food. Guide Rating, 4 Stars
Emilia Klapp, a registered dietitian and educator has written a very informative book about the healthy habits of Mediterraneans and the Mediterranean Diet.
Background
Emilia Klapp, a registered dietitian and educator recently contacted us, asking if she could send us a review copy of her new book, Your Heart Needs the Mediterranean Diet. Since she was born and raised in Spain and understands the Spanish culture and diet, we thought that her book might be educational for us and our readers.
If you are interested in learning more about how to eat a healthy diet and live a healthy lifestyle, even if you do not know anything about Spanish or Mediterranean cuisine, you will find this book helpful. Ms. Klapp even includes several healthy Mediterranean recipes!
Emi and Al, The Book's Main Characters: The book is easy-to-read, written in dialogue form. The reader is taken through a series of appointments between a fictitious patient named Al, who sounds like the typical middle-aged American and a registered dietician named Emi. Al has both high blood pressure and high cholesterol, is married with children, and works at a high-stress job. On top of that, he eats poorly, (usually on the run) and doesn’t exercise.
Through this series of conversations, we learn about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and regular exercise. Al makes a number of small changes that Emi suggests to his daily routine and diet, and begins to feel the benefits. Along the way, Emi explains cholesterol and where it comes from, why fruits and vegetables are “heart-friendly” and how some of the basic components of the Mediterranean diet (like tomatoes, garlic and onions) are thought to benefit our health. She even provides some Spanish food recipes in her book, like Green Beans with Garlic and Tomato Bread.
Nutrition Data: Ms. Klapp is very clear and concise in her writing, providing supporting nutritional and medical data when necessary. Her book seems to strike the right balance between information and entertainment. She provides diet advice, without being “preachy.”
She provides the references or sources for her nutritional information at the end of every chapter, citing nutrition and medical journals, for those who are interested. Most readers probably won’t be concerned about that, but we liked to see that her sources were listed. Some readers may find the chapter containing the detailed explanations of antioxidants, phytochemicals and free radicals too much to absorb, but it’s only a short chapter that can easily be “skimmed.”Would we recommend the book? We would recommend this book to those readers who are interested in the Mediterranean diet, and how the simple physical activity of the Mediterranean lifestyle can help you live healthier.
Review by Marielina Figueroa MA, RD, CDE
Everyone wants to be thin. We try many diets and we lose weight each time, but eventually the weight creeps back to where we started, perhaps even a pound or two more. Maintaining a healthy weight seems to be difficult, almost impossible.
How can we achieve a healthy weight and maintain it? The answer is the Mediterranean lifestyle. But, how do we get there? Do we have to give up our favorite foods? When is there time for exercising?
This is not just another diet book. Emilia has put together a unique book, filled with practical advice which teaches you the small steps to take, one at a time, so that you can incorporate good habits into your life. Find tips that easily accommodate into your daily routine. Soon you will think “this is so much easier than I thought it would be” and you will start feeling better.
We all want to feel good. Why live longer if we do not feel well and cannot do the things we like to do? This book is based on scientific research concluding that the Mediterranean diet helps enhance health. Don’t waste more money on diet books. Invest in yourself. Take time to learn how to improve your health, as well as your waistline. This book will help you learn the health promoting habits of the Mediterranean culture.
