Summary

We are supposedly living longer - but in what shape and with what prospects? We are surrounded by facts and advice on health and nutrition that are often confusing and ambiguous. Many of us think that as long as we have our "five a day" we might be ok but we have deviated so far down a road of poor and confused eating habits, that we are expecting those well-travelled, five little fruit and veg to accomplish rather a lot! This book gathers together some of the ever evolving information on nutrition for health and attempts to relate it to our future well-being. It is also an effort to understand not only why we are getting sick but why it seems ever harder to do the right thing. Above all this book is about knowledge and how we have cause to feel more empowered than ever to have control over our own health.
