First Sentence
How sharp is your mind, how balanced is your mood, how consistent is your energy, how happy are you - and what, if anything, do these qualities have to do with what you eat? These are some of the questions we set out to answer in Britain's biggest-ever health survey - known as ONUK for Optimum Nutrition UK - which involved 37,000 people and took place in 2004.

Format:Paperback
This is the kind of book you will want everyone to read. Its fascinating, well-written and answers a lot of questions. The advice also works. I tried adding certain foods to my diet, for example and noticed an improvement within a week. It can get technical in places, but you can read each chapter on its own. Very highly recommended

This book is well worth reading. I'm taking it slowly, marking up various points of interest, which takes forever, so I'm at p.200, but have dipped into the bits I haven't yet read in detail. Holford's style is matter-of-fact rather than sensationalist, except when he's dealing with the statistics on mental health, which make for sobering reading. Holford worked with legends in the field, such as Dr Carl Pfeiffer and Dr Abram Hoffer (who wrote the foreword), and he's a lot more solid than some people make him out to be.
There are relatively few good up-to-date books on nutrition and mental/emotional health. There's no need for me to over-hype this one. It delivers what it promises, goes into plenty of detail with many pages of references if you want to follow up the scientific side, but if you just want to skim it or concentrate on a chapter dealing with a particular condition such as depression or memory, that's easy enough too. A very useful overview of the subject, and reading it will give you many tools to start to address various issues afflicting mood and mind.

Initially this is a facinating book and it is very easy to read and understand.
It may be easy to become depressed yourself if you're not careful and some parts make you feel that the whole thing is nothing but a sales ploy for supplements. It does say what foods are best but will often say that is not enough. He may be right! I have been taking certain supplements for 2 months as advised by a nutritional expert but have no improvement in mind or body.
A very very interesting read - well laid out - informative. I would recommend to anyone with an open mind.
