David H. Murdock, Chairman of Dole Food Company, is pleased to announce
the publication of his latest book, The Dole Nutrition Handbook:
What You Need to Eat and How to Live for a Longer, Healthier Life.
The book is a comprehensive guide to the proper nutrition needed for
optimal health in the here and now -- as well as extended longevity in
later years. Mr. Murdock oversaw the creation of the book by the Dole
Nutrition Institute, which he founded in 2001.
"If you want to learn how to lose weight, be healthy and live longer,
then you've got to read this book," said David H. Murdock, Chairman of
Dole Food Company. As a frequently sought-after expert on longevity, the
86-year-old Murdock wanted to share his health and nutrition secrets
with the public. "This publication conveys the very latest scientific
information from the top minds in our country in a way that will capture
the imagination and inspire people to change the way they eat and live."
The book is divided into three sections. “Part 1: What You Need to
Eat Every Day” provides detailed information on the various
macronutrients, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals needed for bodily
maintenance and disease prevention. In clear, easy-to-understand
language, this section reveals some of the surprising and indeed newly
discovered healthful aspects of nutrients like vitamin D, choline,
bromelain, etc. More importantly, this section provides an extensive
inventory of the nearly 100 superfoods that provide maximum nutrition
with scientifically documented health benefits.
“Part II: Total Health from Head to Toe” includes chapters
dedicated to what you need for various aspects of health -- ranging from
cardiovascular to pregnancy to immunity. These comprehensive chapters
convey the most up-to-date advice in a fun and easily accessible format,
including short interviews with some of the top nutrition experts of our
time, drawn from leading universities like Duke and UNC, gathered at
Murdock's North Carolina Research Campus.
