Every Body Should Know This

The Science of Eating for a Lifetime of Health

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Are you overwhelmed by conflicting nutritional advice?

Do you struggle to make healthier food choices?

In theory we all know what works and doesn't work for our bodies; we know that we should eat more vegetables, consume less refined sugar and saturated fat, avoid ultra-processed foods. We know that what we choose to eat has a direct consequence on our health and our happiness. But we have lost touch with our food; it's produced far away from our day to day lives and often arrives prepared and pre-packed to our homes, our desks and our supermarkets. We have built a food environment that is based on food marketing and arbitrary targets, instead of responding to our biology and nourishing ourselves as individuals.

In Every Body Should Know This, Dr Federica Amati, registered nutritionist and communications strategist at renowned health science company ZOE, explains how to make the most beneficial decisions for maintaining good health at every stage of life. This first-of-a-kind book combines nutrition, medical science and public health advice to create a simple, evidence-based guide to what we should all know about our food and how it affects us.

Packed with jargon-free advice, and informed by the latest metabolic health research, Federica explores each life stage, from childhood right through to our senior years, delivering targeted recommendations for all, so everybody can have a better insight to what works for them personally, and reclaim the pleasure and the power of food.
