I concentrated more in the chapters that discuss physical training and the good food for athletes, which food is rich in protein and which food is rich in vitamins and minerals.
The beauty of this book that it's like a guide for you to fulfill your nutritional needs according to your own goals.
Moreover, it's written in a very simple words with simple ideas and clear explanations. You don't need to be specialist to enjoy the book !
If you want to modify your life, it's easy always start with "FOOD"..yeah type of food give you extra years to live, make you happier, bright mentally. attractive physically.
AND THIS IS THE BOOK :)

Wheeee!!! My course is complete! This book was well-rounded and interactive with lots of fun information. My only sticking point was the omission of the clarifier “Type 2” when referencing diabetes with respect to diet and exercise. My husband is Type 1 with a squeaky clean lifestyle and it annoys me to read and hear “lack of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and exercise can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension”, etc.

Good read on nutrition. Informative, not too technical.
