Synopsis

In the late 1990s, with manufactured fast foods and commercially-farmed produce offering less in the way of nutrition, people are taking a greater interest in their diet as a way to stay healthy and cope with illness and everyday stress. A complete easy-to-use A-Z reference of every nutrient you might encounter in the increasingly perplexing minefield of food and health products. Each entry - from the most common everyday foods (bananas and carrots) to the most recent developments in nutritional supplements (green algae and shark cartilage) - is given a definition in plain language - the food or nutrient's origins, the forms it comes in, where to buy it, how to prepare or enjoy it, its benefits, medicinal properties and a recommended daily dose. This edition of the text includes many new entries, information on existing entries and a user-friendly index to allow you to cross-reference every particular health complaint with the nutrients and supplements that can help.
