More Healthy Years

Ever wondered why the Med diet is so healthy, and how to incorporate it into your daily life? This book provides the answers. Cutting-edge science by a leading authority reveals surprising links between Med foods and health, such as how goat's cheese may help prevent Alzheimer's disease; how eating a Med diet reduces the cancer risk from drinking alcohol; and why the way we cook is so important for health. More Healthy Years also explains the real reasons why it is so important to avoid highly processed foods - the antithesis of the Med diet. It transforms the science into a huge range of practical tips to overcome the barriers of our obesogenic environment and eat tasty, healthy Mediterranean food every day, at no extra cost. Drawing on the evidence that what's good for the person is also good for the planet, the book concludes with a persuasive argument for a more ecologically-based farming system.
