In a world flooded with diet trends, food myths, and health fads, Eat Right: Learn How a Good Diet Can Help You Stay Healthy and Live Longer by Dr. Jairo A. Puentes, MD, cuts through the noise with science-backed clarity and heartfelt insight. This isn’t just a book about nutrition. It provides all the necessary steps for taking control of your health, one thoughtful bite at a time.
With over 50 years of clinical experience, Dr. Puentes delivers a clear, compassionate message: what you eat shapes how you feel, age, and thrive. Drawing from his background in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and nutrition research, he crafts a guide that not only educates but empowers readers to make sustainable, life-changing decisions.
A Revolutionary Approach: The DRESS-SS System
At the core of the book is the innovative DRESS-SS framework—Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Management, Supplementation, and Spirituality. This holistic model recognizes that wellness isn’t built on diet alone but supported by a healthy lifestyle. The author walks readers through each element, showing how they work in harmony to protect against disease and promote vitality.
Why Food Is More Than Fuel?
The book begins with an engaging exploration of the digestive system and the incredible role of the microbiome. Dr. Puentes explains, in accessible language, how trillions of bacteria in our gut influence everything from digestion to mood, immunity, and even cognitive function. You’ll see how a balanced, plant-based diet not only supports gut health but also helps prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative conditions.
With examples and practical guidance, the book helps readers understand why certain foods can be harmful and how to replace them with healing alternatives.
Backed by Science, Guided by Heart
What makes Eat Right stand out is its perfect blend of science and soul. Dr. Puentes doesn’t just tell you what to eat. He shows you why it matters. He shares personal stories, clinical insights, and research findings from longevity hotspots like the Blue Zones to demonstrate the powerful link between diet and long-term health.
