Product Description
Review
The title of this book might make you think that it's been cooked up by cynical publishers desperate for a stand-out title in an overcrowded market - but get beyond that and you'll find some really valuable guidance about the connection between food and health and well-being. For Savona, you really are what you eat. In the first half of her book she looks at how both our body and brain are affected by what we eat. She discusses well-being generally, how mood, energy and concentration are all affected by blood-sugar levels, and why, for example, it can be so damaging to try to 'cure' tiredness with chocolate, coffee or other quick fixes. She also takes in food and stress, and physical conditions such as eczema, dry skin and limp hair. And she addresses digestion and detoxification, energy and specific issues such as premenstrual problems, sleeplessness and depression. Each section ends with suggestions for meal plans, recipes for which appear in the second half of the book. This starts with a look at the well-stocked pantry (seaweed's in, sugar's out) before going on to provide recipes for each meal of the day, all coded according to the nutritious benefits they offer. Most recipes are easy to prepare and unfussy, and Savona is refreshingly un-precious, encouraging adaptation and experimentation. There's a Middle Eastern influence to quite a few dishes, for example, spicy bean stew, shekshouka (a vegetable dish) and tabouleh. The book ends with strategies for feeling good and looks at non-food related ways to enhance your general health and well-being, such as acupuncture and aromatherapy. Savona writes in a straightforward and down-to-earth tone that acknowledges the gaps between good intentions and the realities of everyday life and even if you don't feel the need for a total intake revolution, just adding some of her recipes to your everyday repertoire should provide some variety and hopefully some health benefits as well.
