Product description

Review

Tim Spector makes healthy eating exhilarating, empowering and achievable. -- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

A brilliant deep-dive into how food affects our wellbeing – and more importantly, what we can do about it. Enlightening and empowering -- Liz Earle

Spector writes as a food lover... Every person's ideal diet is different, and should be based on sensible choices from a position of knowledge. Food for Life is a feast of that knowledge... A valuable reference book to keep on a kitchen shelf. ― Guardian

The nutrition revolution is well underway and Tim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely. -- Yotam Ottolenghi - praise for SPOON-FED

[A] weighty and detailed guide to modern living... [Spector] explains how to boost your microbiome and tailor your diet. ― Sunday Times, *Books of the Year*

No fads, no nonsense, just practical, science-based advice on how to eat well. ― Daily Mail, *Books of the Year*

Food for Life is a fascinating tour d'horizon, deftly drawing on recent research... Well
written [and] informative.

― Literary Review

Tim Spector has been exploding the myths around food and heal for years... Here he continues the demolition job in a rigorously academic book that welcomes the layperson with open arms. ― The Times, *Books of the Year*

Tim's book is a revelation. With his years of experience and engaging writing, he navigates the fascinating and complicated relationship between food and health. A must-read for anyone seeking a respected and trustworthy guide through the murky world of nutrition -- Dr Rupy

A life-changing book -- Davina McCall

Fascinating reading -- Nigella Lawson

The pandemic should have changed many attitudes towards understanding biology, and Food for Life is the newly scientifically semi-literate person's post-Covid go-to food book... I trust the author and his work. ― The Times, *Book of the Week*

A fascinating insight into what we eat in a highly readable format. ― Tablet

Will actually help you decide what to add to your next grocery shop... This is one of the clearest and most accessible short nutrition books I have read: refreshingly open-minded, deeply informative and free of faddish diet rules. -- Bee Wilson ― The Guardian - praise for SPOON-FED

A well-researched and informative book ... Great to see academia catching up with the real world. ― Natural Products

How to eat healthily has been debated for many years… Spector’s science-based approach and handy tips might just help to debunk the mysteries of never-ending ingredient lists ― Radio Times

Tim Spector makes healthy eating exhilarating, empowering and achievable -- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

From the Back Cover

'No fads, no nonsense, just practical, science-based advice on how to eat well’ Daily Mail, Books of the Year

**AS HEARD ON THE DIARY OF A CEO PODCAST**

Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat in the age of ultra-processed food has never seemed so complicated. Bestselling author and scientist Tim Spector offers clear answers in this definitive, easy-to-follow guide to the new science of eating well.

Tim Spector has pioneered a new approach to nutrition, encouraging us to forget misleading calorie counts and nutritional breakdowns. In Food for Life he draws on over a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, along with his own personal insights, to deliver a new and comprehensive approach to what we should all know about food today.

Investigating everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies, ultra-processed food and deceptive labelling, Spector also shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand.

Empowering and practical, Food for Life is nothing less than a new approach to how to eat - for our health and the health of the planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science based information to improve your diet
Reviewed in Australia on 29 February 2024
I have read many different books and seen a lot of conflicting information on social media about this topic.
Tim Spector provides easy to understand, science based information. I have been putting some of the suggestions into practice and have already noticed feeling less bloating, more energy and a clearer mind. There is a lot of information in the book, I have taken the key parts out of the book and use them in my daily life. In a time where there is too much information available (good and bad) this book feels right and gives me confidence I am making the right steps to live a better life. I now think more about what I eat and what to exclude.
