Nick Bell has published so many books about health, nutrition, well being both of body and of mind that it seems only expected that he would approach the Superfoods concept and all its permutations. In this very well written book he gets to the basics right away in this introduction: `This book contains information about foods that are healthy, rich in vitamins, nutritious , and can help you shed pounds easily without weighing you down or causing weakness. What makes this book different than the others of its kind is that the foods included in this book are easily available everywhere. Instead of introducing you to exotic foods from around the world, this book is intended to raise awareness about the foods that are already easily available. You will not need to hunt them down; the next time you go to your local grocery store, you will know which foods to pick to help you lose weight.'Nick divides his book into types of superfoods - Vegetables (eg, watercress, broccoli, brussels sprouts, leeks, spinach); Fruits (avocado, banana, chili, cucumber, grapefruit, Melons); Dried Fruits (apple, apricot, blackcurrent, figs, papaya, raisins, tomato); Nuts: (almonds, Brazil  Nuts, cashews, pistachios, walnuts); Seeds Chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds); Drinks: black coffee, green tea, licorice tea, vegetable juice, water, Yarrow tea).Each food groups and individual food is explained as to why it is supercharged and then a suggestion for ways to offer this food are given.In typical Nick Bell fashion this book is concise, brimming over with useful information, and written in a fashion that is very enjoyable to read.
