The complete food and nutrition companion that puts hundreds of practical tips about food and health at your fingertips

Do you want to have more energy? Manage your weight better? Delay the effects of ageing? Live a full, long life in good health? Despite the huge gains in nutritional knowledge, healthy eating has not become easier.

In our time-poor society, fewer people regularly cook and eat at home, and many rely on take-away and fast foods. In effect, we are suffering from malnutrition in the midst of plenty, along with many modern lifestyle diseases: obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Catherine Saxelby, Australia's most respected nutritionist brings you the ultimate guide to health through food and nutrition.

A leading nutritionist for over 20 years, Catherine has educated a generation of Australians about healthy eating and getting the most from their diet. Catherine now brings you the Food and Nutrition Companion, an A-Z guide of everything you need to know to get healthy, live longer and live better. With more than 500 entries covering whole foods, processed foods, additives, nutrients, supplements and more, this is the ultimate family reference for good health and nutrition.

In this totally unique reference, Catherine gives you the facts about food, health and diet, providing clear and authoritative advice on all aspects of nutrition. This easy A - Z format covers everything from acidophilus and anti-ageing to carbohydrates, GI, menopause, portion size, pregnancy, vitamins and minerals and weight loss.
