Format:Paperback
I have just bought this book and find it a fasinating guide to the sources of vitamins, antioxidant and anti-biotic charactersitics of our everyday foods essential to a healthy diet. Explanations of preparations, and storage of foods quashing long used methods to prepare vegetables such as the use of salt (or rather not using it) in the boiling/steaming process is a helpful guide to maximising the benefits of the essential nutrients that each of these 25 miracle foods/food groups can provide. A must have book for anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of so-called super foods. Another book by the same publisher/author is Brain Food, which I am about to read but on the surface appears to be an excellent guide in understanding how certain foods can make you more lethargic whilst others act as natural pick-me ups.
Format:Paperback
Bought as a Christmas Present for a friend who suffers with loads of ailments and a poor diet-she loved it which was a bit of a surprise as she is very hard to please! Excellent fast service from seller and particularly liked the hand written note that accompanied the book. Contents nice mixture of fact about foods and their benefits and the recipes were not too scarey. Good value for money.
