Traditional Nutrition: From Weston A. Price to the Blue Zones; Healthy Diets from Around the Globe

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. As I stated reading, my first thought was, which nutrition camp is this guy in? The pleasant surprise for me was to find that he's come to nearly the same conclusion I have about what the research we have on ancestral diets tells us. In my opinion, it comes down to what your health goals are and how to tweak a whole (properly prepared) diet to help meet those goals and keeping in mind that a lot more than food makes up a rich healthy long life!

The book touches on the lives and diets of people living blue zone regions. The author provides a good conclusion that as long as you eat food produced as close to nature as possible , organic and or free range is more important than following strictly any of the blue zone diets. And that less stress and close supportive families are important. A great book

I thought this was a really good book. It was informative and interesting. I've been lucky enough to holiday in Ikaria and visited the village of Christos Raches where the locals relax through the day and go about their daily business in the evening. The atmosphere of the island is peaceful and relaxing and after a day or so I felt much calmer than I do in England. As living there is an impossibility I will try following some of the ways the locals live and hope they rub off on me. I will be looking out for more books by Ben in the future.

Ben wrote something smart and easy to understand. If you're lost on the dietary litterature or trying to build healthy habits, go for it.Good work.Adryen

The book offers glimpses into the works of A Price, and the Blue Zones. Although I enjoy that the conclusion was very positive and uplifting, I was looking for a bit more information. Overall an interesting read
