The Power Five: Essential Foods for Optimum Health by Michael Crupain, MD, MPH – Michael Crupain is a board-certified preventive medicine physician, Emmy® Award-winning producer, author, and self-described “wellness crusader,” whose third book, The Power Five came out in November.  In many ways, the book is the culmination of a life dedicated to medicine and cooking—in medical school, he staged at David Bouley’s Austrian restaurant, The Danube; with pastry chef Walter Luque from Palma; and spent transformative time cooking in Puglia at The Awaiting Table Cookery School.  Within the book’s pages, Michael spotlights “the power of food to boost vitality and longevity” without forgoing flavor and craveability.  Here, he examines five food categories—fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, and seafood—that lead to healthier, longer living, but not at the expense of deliciousness.
