We all want to be healthier and stronger and live longer, but what really works?

From stress to saturated fats, HIIT to HRT, veganism to vitamins, This Book Could Save Your Life debunks the fads and explores the real science of better health.

What's the best way to lose weight (and keep it off)?

How can you ensure a good night's sleep?

What are the real superfoods?

How can you minimise the risks of getting diabetes, cancer or Alzheimer's?

And how can you slow the ageing process?

Cutting through confusing statistics and terrifying headlines, here is the truth about dieting, drugs, 10,000 steps a day, bacon, calorie counting, coffee, dairy, sleep, fibre, hangovers, salt, sugar, cardio, sunscreen, statins, vitamins and much more.

Full of the latest research and groundbreaking evidence, packed with useful advice, this book really could save your life.

Best book I have listened to on how to live a healthy life. Full of things you can do: eg which suppliments are worth taking and which are a waste of money.

Outstanding on how to lead a healthy life

This book isn't going to tell you how to live your life, that choice is up to you.

What it offers is unbiased scientific evidence, which at times you may feel that some is contradictory. That's because the author accepts that some things are not yet well enough understood.

This well-written, fantastically narrated book will give you the evidence you need to make your own mind up.

Some extremely interesting content

You may not live longer... but it will certainly feel like you are, as all the foods you love are listed with reasons as to why they are killing you, immediately destroying any joy you may have gotten from them.

But seriously this is an excellent eye opening guide into everything nutrition related. The audiobook is also well narrated and is as entertaining as it is informative.

You may not live longer...

One of the best books I've bought off audible. Simple to understand and so inspiring

Amazing book

Informative but not patronising. You will listen to good advice based on the research that has taken place, but the author tells us that's not even conclusive or rigid. Not much I didn't know already as I listen and read loads of books on this subject, but a book I'd still like to replay and keep in my library.

This is my kind of book
