Health and Food: Problems and Solutions

 
Mohinder Singh (Author)
Synopsis The book is designed to help the reader again a better understanding of selected aspects of health and food. It does not set out to solve individual problems, as each person’s health problems are somewhat unique. The may call for personalised attention, preferably backed by competent medical support. The most an outsider like me – a non-medical one at that – can offer is information and suggestions. Possible disabuse some readers of a few myths that hamper healthful living. I had the benefit of receiving numerous letters and telephone calls from readers of my published articles. Their comments and concerns have enabled me to give a more practical final shape to the material. The book is divided into twelve sections. Eight of them deal with matters pertaining to health. The other four discuss certain foods in their health context. Obviously the book is not meant to be read at a stretch, like a novel. Readers can pick and choose whatever interests them.
