LIVE A LONGER, LEANER, HEALTHIER LIFE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN ZONE!

• Eat to stop weight gain and strip away unwanted fat.
• Reverse diabetes and protect yourself from Alzheimer’s.
• Free yourself from inflammation, allergies, and hormonal chaos.
• Enjoy the most delicious, nutritious foods from the world’s most beloved cuisine.
• Break out of the diet-and-exercise trap for good!


The Mediterranean diet is the most universally accepted healthy eating regimen around. But what, exactly, is it? If you think it’s pasta with red sauce, Italian bread drizzled in olive oil, and plenty of fresh fruit and cheese, you’re wrong—dead wrong. The Mediterranean Zone is here to set you right.

Barry Sears, Ph.D., revolutionized dieting with his 1995 bestseller The Zone. In the two decades since its publication, its principles of eating for optimal hormonal balance have become the standard by which diets are measured. Now, in The Mediterranean Zone, you’ll learn how our modern American diet changes the inflammatory response inside our bodies—and how that increased inflammation puts you at risk for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer, and more. You’ll learn which Mediterranean diet foods help put out the fire, reducing your risk of disease while stripping away pounds, boosting your energy, and even lightening your mood! And you’ll learn how to turbocharge the Mediterranean diet to make it even more effective!

Live your best life, in your best body, with The Mediterranean Zone.

La Zona è quello stato di armonia psicofisica che permette di essere sempre al top dell'efficienza, grazie a un'alimentazione basata sulla distribuzione bilanciata degli apporti calorici. Questo libro spiega: come si possono bruciare più grassi guardando la televisione piuttosto che facendo esercizio fisico; quando una dieta molto ricca di carboidrati può rivelarsi dannosa o controproducente; come eliminare definitivamente il grasso superfluo e raggiungere il benessere psicofisico riducendo anche l'incidenza delle malattie. Il volume contiene, inoltre, le tabelle per il calcolo del fabbisogno proteico e alcune ricette all'italiana.

La Zona è un piano alimentare che attraverso un uso bilanciato di grassi, proteine e carboidrati fa perdere il peso in eccesso, ritardare l'invecchiamento, aumentare le difese immunitarie, avere sempre la massima efficienza fisica e mentale. Entrare in Zona vuoi dire ricordarsi delle esigenze del nostro corpo nella sua totalità, mente compresa, rimediando ai gravi danni derivanti da un'esistenza affannata fatta di stress e sedentarietà. In questo libro, il dottor Sears spiega come sperimentare sull'organismo, e sulla psiche, gli effetti di una dieta pro Zona.

Barry Sears, laureato in biochimica, ricercatore del MIT, è specializzato nel controllo dietetico delle risposte ormonali. È l'ideatore del regime alimentare Zona, che - come spiega in questo volume - rende possibile combattere anche le cause di molte gravi patologie: i processi infiammatori, spesso silenti. Diabete, Alzheimer, cardiopatie e tumori nascono spesso come lente degenerazioni di infiammazioni non diagnosticate e quindi non curate in tempo utile.

Un nuovo programma globale per sconfiggere i danni dell'invecchiamento, costruito sulle regole della Zona, il metodo alimentare proposto da Barry Sears. 'La Zona anti-età' permette di migliorare l'esistenza; ritrovare vigore e efficienza fisica; ridurre e controllare le conseguenze della menopausa e dell'andropausa; mantenere le funzioni mentali; diminuire il rischio di malattie cardiache, infarti e diabete; combattere l'infertilità femminile; contrastare ansia e depressione; rimediare alla perdita di elasticità della pelle e ridurre il danno provocato dai radicali liberi.

La Zona è un piano alimentare che attraverso un uso bilanciato di grassi, proteine e carboidrati fa perdere il peso in eccesso, allunga l'aspettativa di vita e diminuisce il rischio di malattie croniche. Questo testo spiega come sperimentare sull'organismo, e sulla psiche, gli effetti di una dieta pro Zona. Il dottor Sears assicura infatti che, fin dalla prima settimana, il fisico risulta più tonico, diminuiscono gli sbalzi umorali e migliora la lucidità mentale, grazie a un controllo dell'insulina e a una stabilizzazione del livello degli zuccheri nel sangue. Ma è a lungo termine che i benefici si fanno prevalentemente sentire: perdita definitiva del peso, riduzione di malattie cardiache, sono solo alcuni dei risultati che si possono ottenere.
