9. You Are What You Eat by Carina Norris


BOOK REVIEW: You Are What You Eat by Carina Norris

As a young lady, optimum health and beauty is on the top of my list. With many holistic practitioners advocating the ‘medicine is food and food is medicine’ concept, I stumbled on this book at the precise moment in my young life. This book is packed to the brim with facts and information on the types of food that enables health, growth and development at every stage of life for both men and women.

Eating well can change your life – it can make you look and feel better, boost your energy levels and increase your life expectancy. But our nutritional needs and health concerns change throughout our life.

This book contains nutritional advice for everyone with tailored information and tips for every stage, from childhood to old age. This book concentrates on 3 major life stages: ages 5-25, 25-50 and 50+, and explains how our needs change with age and the health issues that we face at each stage of life, including: weight gain, immunity and resisting disease, digestion problems, stress as well as hormones (PMS, menopause, mood).

There are also plenty of tips on how to eat to beat many illnesses including heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimers and arthritis. Whatever your age, you’ll find all the advice and information you need to live a healthier, happier and longer life.


As I’m writing this book review, I’m sipping a luxuriously antioxidant-rich berry smoothie in a health cafe a stone’s throw away from my house.
