  If you need practical advice in order to improve your own or other people's nutrition, then I would suggest this book as a first port of call - especially if you aren't interested in learning loads of scientific details, just the essential ones. Susannah Lawson summarises, very clearly, most of Patrick Holford's work and practical advice re food and supplements, both in general and with regard to basic conditions such as digestion problems or hormonal imbalance, including advice about kids. There are quizzes to help you find your individual needs; action plans; succinct bullet points detailing ways to improve your diet and health; tables of foods you can eat to aquire all sorts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omegas etc. and tables of supplements you can take. This is not Patrick Holford's usual style book (though similar to the Low-GL Diet Made Easy and the Low-GL Cookbook). It has glossy pages, a larger format, and is very much simplified from his usual style of writing, which invariably explains nutritional biology in some detail. There are no recipies in this book - there wouldn't be room. I got this book out of the library, but I've decided it's worth buying, so that's what I'm doing. Read Less...
