Publisher's Synopsis
The Genius of Ordinary Food is an 'in a nutshell' look at the amazing benefits our daily food gives to us.
The book follows the evolutionary journey of 'Eva the hungry amoeba', who travels from being a single-cell organism down the evolutionary path to becoming a 37.2 trillion cell human being.
Along her journey Eva encounters 28 foods, the benefits these ingredients give her are outlined in the context of her development. There are 6 chapters looking at cells & DNA, the immune system, bones and teeth, the heart and other organs, the brain, and a final chapter looking at the synergistic benefits of an amazing ingredient.
The nutritional benefits of the foods highlighted are based in sound science and the evolutionary 'fable' is garnished with known archaeological and food history.
This is a book for anyone interested in using natural food as a source of health, wellbeing and defence against infection and chronic disease.
There are 5 children's books coming soon, one for each chapter of this book.
