● 內文簡介

心臟病醫師與健康概念推行者聯手撰寫的新書《The Pioppi Diet》,是一項現代人的新生活型態計畫。文學經紀人遞送書稿不到24小時,迅速收到兩家英國出版社pre-empt,最後由英國企鵝集團Michael Joseph以高六位數美金簽下版權,預計2017年夏季出版。

地中海飲食為何是心臟病的良藥?

何謂「地中海飲食」(Mediterranean diet)?這是泛指希臘、西班牙、法國和義大利南部等位於地中海沿岸的南歐國家,多以蔬菜、水果、魚類、五穀雜糧、豆類與橄欖油為主要飲食,同時,醫學研究近年來發現,地中海飲食可以降低人們罹患心臟病,還能保護大腦免受血管損傷,以及延長壽命。

本書作者、心臟病醫師Dr. Aseem Malhotra,是世界首屈一指的心臟病學權威之一,同時,明星主廚傑米.奧利佛不吝公開盛讚他是鼓舞人心的學者與英國卓越的健康推行者。他
​鼓吹​的健康理念奠定政府政策制訂,也成為報章媒體諮詢採訪相關健康問題的發言人。

Pioppi,是個靠近義大利南部港市那不勒斯的小漁村。這個不顯著的地方,被聯合國科教文組織(UNESCO)認定是地中海飲食的發源地。上世紀六十年代的美國生物學家安賽爾.基斯(Ancel Keys)注意到地中海飲食型態的特色與健康關係,不斷地公開宣傳。

在本書裡,兩位作者費時五年研究,包括審讀逾百則科學報告,在這個聲稱「人們忘記死亡」的義大利小漁村得到證實,並且從他們的生活與飲食智慧中,提煉21天生活型態計畫,臨床驗證能夠降低心血管疾病、增進身心健康,與長壽。該項計畫便稱為「The Pioppi Plan」。

本書結合最新醫學科研報告與現代飲食新概念,規劃出一套易於人們力行的
​生活型態​計畫​,搭配食譜​。作者預計於2017年3月完稿。

 

● 作者簡介

Dr Aseem Malhotra has been heralded alongside anti-obesity activists such as Michael Bloomberg and Michelle Obama and a few weeks ago he was featured in the New York Times on his documentary film The Big Fat Fix, which in July premiered in British parliament. This year, the Sunday Times named him one of the most influential people in science and medicine in the UK.

Donal O’Neill is an independent documentary filmmaker and better-health activist. A former international track and field athlete, Donal’s passion for health and human performance resonates throughout his films. His debut feature length documentary Cereal Killers (2013) was tipped as one of the top 10 independent movies that could change the world and the sequel – Run on Fat (2015) – has been billed as the future of sports nutrition. In 2015, he joined forces with Dr Malhotra to make The Big Fat Fix (2016). Donal has been featured by the New York Times, the BBC, SKY News, The Times of India and the British Journal of Sports Medicine, among others.
