The A.B.-Z. of our own nutrition

"The A.B.-Z. of Our Own Nutrition" by Horace Fletcher is a book that examines how people can improve their health through better eating habits and a deeper knowledge of what the body needs. At the beginning, it presents a way to save money on food while staying healthy, suggesting we should chew our food more and pay attention to how hungry we really are. The book starts by raising important questions about our eating habits, like if we eat too much, how we can eat well and still enjoy our meals, and if we can get more energy and better health through our diet. It shares the author’s story of discovering better nutrition, inspired by people like Luigi Cornaro, who lived a long life by eating and drinking in moderation. The beginning of the story leads into a bigger conversation about nutrition, using scientific experiments and expert advice from doctors to prove the link between what we eat and how healthy we are.
