Description

NBC Today show nutrition and diet guru Madelyn Fernstrom and award-winning neuroscientist and pharmacologist John Fernstrom —partnering with AARP— present the ultimate guide to food and medicine interaction.

Millions of Americans take prescription drugs to treat diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or other conditions. But beware: The foods you eat and the medications you’re taking could be working against every other.

Don’t Eat This If You’re Taking That takes the mystery out of food and medication interactions. This easy-to-use guide details foods that can interfere with the action of the medication—whether taken for the short or long term. In this book, readers can easily find a medication, see what foods to Keep away from, and make smart swaps.

We all imagine a diet rich in colorful fruit and veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products is a part of healthy eating—right? Not all the time. Dr. Fernstrom explains exactly what foods to Keep away from when and why. As an example,

  • If you’re taking cholesterol medicine, you must cut out—or cut down on—grapefruit.


  • On warfarin? Keep away from dark green veggies.


  • If you’re on thyroid medication, nix the soy.


  • And more small diet changes with big health payoffs!


    • As an added bonus, every chapter offers a “Dietary Supplements Alert” box, providing the most up-to-date information on interactions with vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements.

    With this concise, scientifically based guide, consumers can easily personalize their eating plan to work with, not against, their medications.
