FOREWORD
I
believe that knowledge is power. You can put the power of nutrition knowledge to work for you.
This is the most important thing you can do to preserve and improve your mind and body. Good
health is the key to longevity and provides the foundation that enables you to enjoy life.
The
Encyclopedia of Foods: A Guide to Healthy Nutrition
imparts the knowledge that eating a
healthy diet can provide the various nutrients needed to maintain fitness and prevent the many
common diseases that affect our health and longevity. Experts at Mayo Clinic and the UCLA Center
for Human Nutrition have contributed their knowledge and experience to this book to improve the
quality of life through proper nutrition. This book is a 4-year collaborative effort by a large team of
experts from the medical profession and the field of nutrition.
It is very difficult to make up one’s mind to eat properly and avoid the temptations and health
consequences of consuming an excess amount of calories, fats, and refined sugar. Too much of these
can detract from healthy living and the enjoyment of life. It is now clear from many studies that what
you choose to eat can determine whether you have heart disease, diabetes, or many common forms
of cancer. An extensive array of books have been written on this subject. This book encapsulates the
guidelines for eating foods that are beneficial to the body and that preserve health and longevity.
I, along with most people, have not always been so concerned with health. When I became chairman
of Dole Food Company 16 years ago, I truly began to understand the meaning of nutrition and the
need for eating a well-balanced diet. A great deal of progress has been made in discovering the benefits
to our health provided by fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, a healthy diet, and proper exercise
and lifestyle. Dole, known as the largest distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables in the world, intends
to take a leadership role in disseminating scientific information on the benefits of fruits and vegetables
and other foods necessary for promulgating a healthy lifestyle. We intend to publish additional information
as it is being developed by institutions throughout the world. We all have the opportunity to instill
in our children the knowledge that will enable them to have the healthy life we wish them to enjoy.
The
Encyclopedia of Foods
is a practical guide and personal reference tool
of food, nutrition, and health. Many physicians, doctors of philosophy,
nutritionists, dietitians, researchers, writers, editors, designers, illustrators,
and countless others have worked together to create a comprehensive
reference book and present it in an attractive, useful, and friendly fashion.
I personally hope that you will read this book and use it to make the
necessary changes in your lifestyle and diet to improve your health and
longevity.
