Your life is filled with choices. Everyday you make choices related to clothes, shoes-- and sometimes even about marriage proposals and jobs, for your sons and daughters, if not for yourself. Some seem trivial, while others are important. But apart from these, there is one choice which can have a major impact on your health and your life. That choice is of food. It is not a trivial matter. This choice affects not only your individual life but also the life of people around you who love and care for you.

This book is about the choice of food—food that is nutritious and health- giving. Within its pages, you will find reliable nutrition-information and sound advice, based on scientific evidence. It offers you practical ways to eat healthy in almost any situation and at every phase of life, particularly after 50.

And it encourages you to enjoy the pleasures of food but, at the same time, promote your health and well-being. After all, taste is the number one reason most people choose one food over another. Most important, the flexible guidelines help you choose nutritious, flavourful foods to match your own needs, preferences and lifestyle, even as your life enters the third phase.
