Format:Paperback
This is one of those indispensible books - a must have in every household! Well laid out in the typical Dorling Kindersley style, the information is factual, sensible and extensive. The book will not go out of date because it gives the basics of a healthy diet, vitamin and mineral contents of individual foods, together with details on their health and nutritional value. It tells you which foods are good to help combat different health problems and even gives some great recipes. I seem to be forever buying copies to give to friends and family who see it in my kitchen, and I can't give a better recommendation than that!

Format:Paperback
Like all the DK books this is beautifully illustrated and everything looks delicious The book concentrates on the foods you should eat for health that have special benefits, rather than what you shouldn't eat. It also covers advice for specific disorders as well as explaining the digestive system. My main criticism was the lack of more specific advice for specific diseases as well as clearer distinctions between the benefits of supplements and the real foods Overall it is one of the best nutrition books I've read and is both inspiring and informative
