You don't have to eat a restrictive diet to live better, healthier, and longer. In this essential cookbook, 75 recipes put the focus on the five foods that keep you living your best life—without sacrificing flavour or favourites.

The key to longevity, experts say, comes down to what you eat. And that doesn't mean a restrictive diet. This innovative cookbook, acclaimed nutritionist and doctor Michael Crupain introduces the five essential food groups for a longer, healthier life, along with 75 delicious recipes that will ward off illness and extend your life by years. Living longer and better, he reveals, doesn't mean frequent trips to the doctor's office or a magic pill. Instead, it's all about preventative medicine through the power of what you eat—and that includes carbs, fats, and sugars.

Crupain provides an inspiring road map to revamp your eating habits for maximum health. Using a foundation of five key food groups—whole grains, seafood, nuts and seeds, beans, and fruits and vegetables—he crafts 75 recipes that will prevent disease and extend your life by years.

And best of all, eating from the Power Five doesn't have to taste bad either—you can have your pasta, breads, and dessert! These mouthwatering recipes include:

  • Cavatelli Pasta with Mussels and Beans
  • Tomato Semi-Cured Roasted Steelhead Trout
  • Grilled Stone Fruits with Labneh and Basil
  • Miso Creamed Corn
  • Smoky Eggplant with Hummus
  • Artichoke and Crab Pasta
  • Whole Wheat Sourdough Lasagna Bread
  • Roast Chicken with Spicy Scallion Slaw
  • Chocolate Labneh Cheesecake

So don't wait another minute... use The Power Five to add years to your life in the most delicious way possible!
