Product Description

In "Supereating", renowned nutritionist Ian Marber reveals a groundbreaking approach to diet and nutrition that allows you to maximise the goodness you get from the food you eat. He goes beyond the increasingly common one-step approach of 'Get more x in your diet to cure y' to bring in the vital but hitherto generally sidelined interplay of nutrients. For example, it is not enough to increase the amount of calcium in your diet as without the complementary effects of magnesium the benefits can be almost completely lost. The book investigates the interplay between vitamins and minerals, and of these with probiotics and phytochemicals, and demonstrates how the Super eating approach can be used to optimum effect, combating many major health issues by helping the nutrients in your food help each other. He applies the principles of Supereating to particular areas of wellbeing and examines a wide range of foods, showing how superfoods can become super meals.

Enlightening Nutrition
Supereating is a breath of fresh air after all the hype one food or one nutrient seems to attract on a regular basis. Instead the approach is to understand how to obtain the most benefit by combining the foods we eat. Ian Marber is an inspiring writer and always in a practical, balanced and understandable way.

It's a fascinating read and the more I read the more I want to learn to combine the right foods for health and wellbeing. It's got a comprehensive guide to nutrients and how they work together and in some cases against each other (dependng on quantities). I Like the section on probiotics too, I think they're very important for good digestion. Then on to health and wellbeing issues such as boosting the immune system and energy levels by combining the right foods. There are some delicious snack and meal suggetions which I'm already putting into my diet.

Praise to Ian Marber for looking beyond the 'super food' hype and for writing an innovative and stimulating approach to healthy eating and wellbeing! A highly recommended buy.

Eat and grow healthy
I love all the Food Doctor books and regularly follow Ian Marber's recipes. This book is truly informative about what foods are good for particular conditions and what enhances the properties of various foods too. It's well worth reading even if you don't make any of the recipes. I'm looking forward to enjoying lots of culinary delights as I try all the suggestions in this book.

A Mine of Information
This has to be one of the best books around, in giving the reader information about the nutritional content in foods of which Dr. Marber lists many. Easy to follow and offering a selection of menus, I cannot fault it in any way. A must-have!
