Written by a nutrition therapist who specialises in improving the health of men aged forty upwards, this is quite simply a gem of a book for men to re-establish baseline health through diet. Superbly written, with a focus on keeping to sound, time-tested dietary principles, the author provides an accessible guide for men to revisit what they eat and supplement, and to re-evaluate whether this is still what their bodies and their changing life-styles actually need.

It is also very creative in its suggestions for how to manage snacking, how to navigate through the maze of ever-changing food fads and dietary information provided through the media, and essentially how to care for those vulnerable organs and body systems that getting older asks for in the health of a man, such as the heart and the cardio-vascular system, the prostate, the bones, the neurological function and the nervous system, to name some of the most well-known ones.

Described as a 'no-nonsense guide to improving your health and energy in your 40s and beyond,' Manfood does what it sets out to do and does it with elegance and simplicity born of years of experience in the field. The author of the 'Food Doctor' series, Ian Marber, is a man quietly bringing about a revolution in men's nutrition, and in this book, empowering men to take responsibility for their changing healthcare needs as they grow older and encouraging them to stay informed, fit and motivated and thus improve their chances of beating chronic disease.
