Six Weeks to Superhealth: An Easy-to-follow Programme for Total Health Transformation [Paperback]

Fans of health and nutrition authority Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition, will probably buy anything that carries his name--and no healthy home should be without his classic The Optimum Nutrition Bible.

Whether you are looking to lose weight, get healthy or get out of a rut, this eminently readable, well-designed, informative and authoritative guide is guaranteed to have a permanent effect on your lifestyle.

A positive and inspiring introduction includes a detailed quiz covering every aspect of your health. This is followed by the six-week plan which focuses on energy levels, digestion, hormones, detoxing, boosting the immune system and finally memory and moods. The unisex approach ensures that this appeals equally to both sexes, with specific sections for men and women where applicable (e.g. for hormones). Holford deftly repeats key messages, while health processes (like the digestive system) are helpfully illustrated with childlike diagrams.

A final section with easy yet tempting recipes, detailed advice on supplements, plus resources also includes details of courses on the recommended exercise system psychocalisthenics. The fact that it's a 16-minute routine is incentive enough to learn, though this is a little difficult from the book's diagrams alone. --Lorna V.
