Rating David Wolfe’s Eating For Beauty:   4 / 5

      

1). This is a book about “tools not rules”, leading one to achieve physical beauty through inner cleanliness.  Physical beauty in this book does not mean perfection, but rather describes a process by which one can begin to experience clean skin, shiny hair, strong nails, bright eyes, and an outer glow through proper digestion, assimilation and elimination.

2). David introduces new readers to Electromagnetism and Kirlian Photography – illustrating the fact that foods, specifically raw foods, have an aura of vibrant energy invisible to the naked eye.

3). Simple Shifts Work.  Adding in nutrient-rich raw foods on a consistent basis can controls one’s destiny.  A strong advocate of raw, plant-based nutrition, David quotes Michael Klaper as saying: 

“There is absolutely no nutrient, no protein, no vitamin, no mineral, that we know of that can’t be obtained from plant-based foods.”  

Further to quoting Dr. Klaper, one cannot help but be moved by the life David leads, true to this philosophy and filled with what seems to be a super-human type of energy, David Wolfe is indeed a guru of raw food nutrition at its finest.

4). David Wolfe examines and discusses several key nutritional elements such as enzymes, oils, animal fats, proteins, detoxification, the acid-alkaline balance, mineral density, water, yoga, supplements, poetry, recipes, exercise, lifestyle, self-care, and superfoods!

5). David challenges the reader to live life, not just by existing but rather by exploring the depth of their own, internal human potential.  Finding inner beauty comes from consistently combining all the right elements that nature has to offer and designing a life of gratitude and cleanliness, splendor and abundance.

He quotes Eckhart Tolle by noting: 

“Beauty arises in the stillness of your presence . . . Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence.  Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow.”
