About the Author: Sarfraz Zaidi, MD, is a leading expert on Vitamin D. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA as well as Director of the Jamila Diabetes and Endocrine Medical Center in southern California. Dr. Zaidi is also the author of the popular diabetes book “Take Charge of your Diabetes.”
Even though I enjoy healthy living and advice books; it has been my experience that medical journals and books in general are quite dry.
But, to my surprise, I found the Power of Vitamin D quite the opposite, it includes stories that were engaging; with supporting case studies throughout. In fact, at times, it was hard to put down. Dr. Zaidi provides facts that I could readily apply to my life.
Being an athlete myself, with a portfolio of races, 1 half ironman, 49 half marathons and 6 marathons, it is important that I eat healthy and am good to my body as I grow older. Sarfraz Zaidi provided a plethora of valuable advice that I could immediately apply to my daily life.
This book is rich with advice about the harmful effects of low vitamin D levels. It also provides historical evidence to back the need for Vitamin D and where you can find Vitamin D sources to incorporate in your diet. There’s even a nice conversion table in the back to help with portion conversion.
This is a well-written, easy to read and a well-informed guide which I would recommend to all of my health conscious colleagues, marathon friends, and acquaintances to help them better understand the value and importance of incorporating Vitamin D intake in their daily lives.
