Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well, by the #1 bestselling author of SPOON-FED

Product Information

Fairly numerous suggestions on how to improve one's diet, with tips on what he does himself, with some simple recipes. I find his repeated advice that the effects of food on the body differ for everyone to be one that makes a lot of sense, and wish that the average person had access to tools that could measure their own responses to food. It is divided into three parts, each with its own chapters and sections, making it less overwhelming to read. Yes, we need to make choices for our health and the environmental impacts do play into that, but ultimately I want to enjoy the food I eat.

It aims to think about food for “our individual health, the health of our society and the health of our planet”.

Readers can easily navigate through different chapters and sections, finding the information they need without having to read the entire book from start to finish. Food for Life’ is a recommended read for those seeking a deeper understanding of nutrition and its implications for personal well-being and sustainability. At a time when an increasing proportion of the world’s population is suffering from obesity and its related health issues, Tim Spector offers an important and fascinating perspective on this global epidemic. Not to mention lack of time and energy (especially for working mothers) and the racial aspect connected to food.

Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services.

Taking a wide-angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector also shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand. I think works really well as a reference book, but it seems to be trying to be something else at the same time.
