marriage proposals and jobs, for your sons and
daughters, if not for yourself. Some seem trivial,
while others are important. But apart from these,
there is one choice is of food. If is not a trivial
matter This choice affects not only your individual
life but also the life of your spouse and sometimes

This book is about the choice of food -food that
is nutritious and health giving. Within its pages,
you will find reliable nutrition information and
sound advice, based on scientific evidence. It
offers you practical ways to eat healthy in almost

over another. Most important, the flexible
guidelines help you choose nutritious, flavourful
foods to match your own needs, preferences and
lifestyle, even as your life enters the third phase.
