Every day we are bombarded with information about so-called \'superfoods\', best-ever diets and what we should eat. Covering all ages from children to the elderly, "The Food Manual" explains the principles of good nutrition and how to achieve them in the 21st Century - even when time and money may be short. Written with a positive approach, it includes information on all types of food, intolerances, allergies, weight issues, age-related ...more
This has to be one of the most authoritative books on nutrition currently available. If you want to know how to make sense of food packaging labels, how to snack healthily, meal ideas, healthy eating when you are out and about, allergies, intolerances as well as the nuts and bolts of a healthy diet - this is the book for you.
Well written and researched, it looks at the principles of good nutrition and shows how these principles can be achieved even when time and money may be short. A very practical book, it is easy to follow the arguments and find solutions to problems.
There is lots of talk of the need to eat five portions of vegetables a day -but what is a portion? Amounts can vary dramatically from 14 button mushrooms to 3 sticks of celery or one large carrot.
The Food Manual: A Guide to Nutrition and Healthy Eating is an essential reference book for every home.
