In his book Dr. Hayes puts emphasis on following a Mediterranean diet with nutritious food and keeping an eye on the overall calorie intake for health and longevity. Supplementation with vitamins is not recommended. The diet is pretty simple and contains a lot of common sense. If you want to transition from a poor diet to a healthier one, you can follow Dr. Hayes advice. Although the diet is generally healthy, in my opinion some of Dr. Hayes views are outdated, for example the notion that eggs are unhealthy, we should stay away from butter, or we will gain weight if we follow a high fat, low carb diet. Overall, it was worth for me to read this book as I am trying to get as many views about nutrition as I can.

Based on best and lengthy research this book will help you to eat for your life.
I found this book exciting to read even though I had some knowledge of good foods, recipes etc. It really helped reinforce my existing awareness and gave me more to consider. Packed with information and sources for supporting research this book is perfect for ordinary people starting a healthy lifestyle as well as the more experienced individual.
The appreciation of my body has grown as I age and my aim is to keep it ‘running’ for as long as possible. In support of this, I took up a gymnastic type exercise relatively late in life and started, a maintenance plan to obtain the best from my body. I believe this book will be useful in supporting that focus.
A few of my favourite quotes:
A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings.
Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food
Variety is, not only the spice of life, but the key to life itself
