I made it into a game

Reviewed by James McMahon, 2010-02-22

OK, so I'm kind of a health nerd. I admit it. I like the science in this book. I like hearing about the chemicals in the foods and what they do in your body. Maybe that's not for everyone, but I really appreciated it.

When I first read it, I turned it into a game. How many Superfoods (and foods in the related "family") can I eat in a day? It made the "diet" fun, and I certainly did feel better.

From everything I have been seeing in the news lately, Pratt got it right on. All these foods have stood the test of time. I would still recommend this book, even though I know the research has evolved somewhat since he wrote it.

Basic knowledge

Bottom line: it's nutritionally beneficial to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables! Plus, drink tea.

Boring. I was hoping for some juicy details, but what I got was a bland recitation of so-called facts and statistics. The addition of "sidekicks" to the "superfoods" really lessens the potency of the superfoods' superness.

More fun to read a few issues of Vegetarian Times and Real Simple - you'll get similar nutritional info with the added bonus of recipes and decluttering tips!

Good solid info & great recipies

Superfoods!

This a really interesting and enjoyable book, which can be used on many different information levels, depending on how deeply you want to delve into the research behind it. It is well set out and easy to follow and certainly inspires you to improve your diet and hence your well-being. I have been following the advice and already feel that I am well on the way to a healthier and more energetic lifestyle. Loved it!

The recipes are excellent and accurate!

Try the white bean soup! I love a book that uses accurate measurements and ingredients for their recipes. After having this book for years and enjoying the reading knowledge, I finally tried the recipe for white bean soup. I was surprised at how accurate it was and how great the soup tasted. Try to use homemade meat stock for an even more perfect soup. I have tried store bought stock and homemade and still have excellent results.

The information in this book is easy to master and incorporate into your everyday shopping program.
