This book is an exploration of the value that the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle can bring to everyone, young and old. From its origins in Ancient Greece to the modern day understanding we now have of its benefits, this book joins the dots to show the power and benefits of the Mediterranean diet. A key focus of the book is to explain in accessible, easy-to-understand language the science which underpins the Mediterranean diet and its positive impact on heart health, longevity and protection from inflammation, heart disease, cancers, dementia and more. From polyphenols and macronutrients to the multitude of available ingredients and how to combine them builds to an understanding of way food is prepared, cooked and combined to maximise the positive effects. These topics and more are covered in a clear, concise and easily digestible format to suit any reader. The Real Mediterranean Diet also includes numerous recipes from leading chefs from around the globe who are advocates of the Mediterranean Diet, including US-based celebrity chefs Maria Loi and Amy Riolo, renowned Lebanese chef and television personality Joe Barza, Tokyo-based chef Yurie Honda, Chilean celebrity chef Pilar Rodriguez, Sereen Kurdi who is head chef to Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein, and numerous others. Key Features & Benefits of the Book * Written by a practising doctor with experience in seeing patients benefit from his Mediterranean Diet advice. * Accessible to all - a coffee table book that avoids complicated and heavy medical and scientific language but doesn't shy away from a comprehensive exploration of the Mediterranean Diet. * A positive view on nutrition that is focussed on long-lasting benefits and lifestyle change, rather than Dare I Eat That (DIET). * Gives a detailed account of all aspects of the Mediterranean Diet and its benefits, from types of foods and ingredients to drilling down the science in a simple and accessible way revealing how to access its power. * Diverse range of recipes and insights from chefs from around the world demonstrates the Mediterranean Diet's global nature. * The first book to really explain the role of polyphenols and their ability to reduce inflammation through antioxidants. * Answers the questions like, "Which honey or olive oil should I buy, and why?", "Why do they dip bread and drizzle pasta with olive oil, apart from the taste?" and "Why are we encouraged to 'eat a rainbow'?"

Falafel are deep-fried balls or patties of chickpea or broad beans, with added herbs, spices, onion and garlic and are widely eaten across the Middle East. While the style varies from region to region, they’re usually enjoyed in a wrap or pitta with salad, tahini, pickles and a spicy sauce. Long popular in Britain, particularly among immigrant communities, falafel are now a nationwide staple, and have swiftly become one of our most popular fast foods. It’s not hard to see why: they also fall into that wondrous overlapping category of being crave-worthy and satisfying, as well as nutritious and fairly low in fat. What’s more, they are a brilliant source of protein for those who don’t eat meat. They are rich in fibre and modern falafel are often made with added vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils, or grains, as are many of the delicious recipes in this book. Try the Fennel & Lemon Scented Falafel or Juicy Brown Rice Faux-lafel. Find Crunchy Sesame Falafel or Falafel Croquettes or enjoy snacks such as tasty Mediterranean Seed Falafel, all packed with good stuff, and very low fat. Whip up a drizzle such as Home-made Tahini Sauce, as the perfect complement your hot, freshly cooked patties. Finally, make tangy quick pickles, crisp herby salads and easy flatbreads so you can serve your freshly cooked falafel with all the trimmings and enjoy it as its best.

Bestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream. Dr Davis has connected the dots between 'gut health' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine. Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super Gut, he ensures readers understand the science, diagnose their gut issues, eradicate them and maintain their long-term health.
