Product Description
Synopsis
If you believe healthy eating means putting on a hair shirt and sprouting your own mung beans,then this book will prove you wrong. In the "Superfood Pocketbook", leading food and health expert Michael van Straten shows that the 'food police' who try to take all the pleasure out of eating, are so wrong. Enjoyment is the key to healthy eating.The book lists the 100 top foods for guilt-free healthy eating and describes how and why you should enjoy them. Many are the obvious fruits and vegetables, but you'll be surprised by some of the others you can enjoy with relish. Avocados, for example, aren't fattening, they're essential skin food. Did you know that beer is one of the healthiest tonics for women? Or that the best quality chocolate simply oozes vital nutrients? In the "Superfood Pocketbook", you'll learn how even the humble peanut can help control your cholesterol levels and fight diabetes. Being passionate about what you eat is the first step towards healthy living. So enjoy your food - and enjoy your life to the full. The "Superfood Pocketbook" will show you how.

A good little book and a good intro to superfoods. Makes me want to find out more about certain foods.

In an effort to reduce the number of tablets and supplements necessary to keep healthy, I am turning to the power of different foods to succeed, without the need of chemicals. This book is a mine of information on the nutritional properties of everyday foods and their impact on different conditions. It is well laid out and easy to understand. My diet is now tailored to include the foods that help my particular problems and I am already reaping the benefits!

I am happy to have this book, as it has got so much information regarding superfoods. You got a list (a profile) of the superfoods with the explanation of their benefits. Each profile is 1 page.
