Are you frustrated by an ocean of conflicting information about what comprises a healthy diet? Are you bemused by the quickly changing fashions of which foods are the healthiest for all of us? Not long ago, intake of cholesterol and alcohol was thought to be positively harmful. Now we find there is such a thing as "good" cholesterol and that red wine helps prevent heart disease and other assorted illnesses.
Mim Beim's 'Eating Well' brings us back to basics. We learn about the building blocks of the food we eat - carbohydrates, fat and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Mim exposes popular misconceptions and explains how "baddies" such as coffee and alcohol can, in moderation, be part of a healthy diet.
In a world which is flooded with information (and misinformation) about nutrition, Mim's commonsense is spiced with an effervescence which informs, entertains and excites with simple clarity. Now is the time for a book which empowers those who wish to plan a diet that is healthy and right for them and their families.
