How to Eat Better by James Wong
Forget the fads and learn how to select, store, and prepare your favorite foods for maximum health and nourishment.Between chasing the latest miracle ingredient and avoiding the evil food du jour, it's hard to know what to buy at the grocery store. Tabloid headlines, trending hashtags, and deceptive advertising don't make dietary decisions any easier, but this book will. It sidesteps all the fad diets and superfood fixations and provides a straight-talking scientist's guide to making everyday foods measurably healthier and tastier by changing the way you select, store, and cook them. For example:
- Select a Braeburn apple over a Fuji and instantly have double the antioxidants from a fruit that tastes just as sweet.
- Store mushrooms on a windowsill and get a hundred times the vitamin D2 in just a couple of hours.
- Cook broccoli with a teaspoon of mustard, and its cancer-fighting potential will increase tenfold.
After winning a scholarship to the university of Bath James went on to train at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, and the University of Kent, gaining a Master of Science degree with distinction in Ethnobotany. At the age of 27, Wong became the presenter of his own award-winning BBC Two television series Grow Your Own Drugs. The series demonstrates a number of natural remedies sourced from plants and became the highest-rated gardening series on UK television. James is also a regular face on the hit BBC One rural affairs series Countryfile since its reformatting in April 2009. In 2008, he was one of the regular presenters on the show Fossil Detectives, which was broadcast initially on BBC Four and then repeated on BBC Two. He has also appeared on BBC's Gardeners' World, Channel 4's Richard & Judy, The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV, and on BBC Breakfast. As a garden designer, he has become a four-time Royal Horticultural Society RHS medal winner for gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. Wong has designed an Ethnobotanical Garden for the University of Kent, where he is a guest lecturer.
