My Thoughts:

I was first introduced to Dr. Roizen over ten years ago when he and Dr. Oz wrote the first YOU book. I spend a lot of my time reading about nutrition and wellness, so I soaked this one up.

Many of the nutrition facts were things I somewhat knew, but the timing of eating certain foods was newer to me. Like, when is it better to eat a cookie? I especially loved their thoughts on greens, including kale, because I have dark, leafy greens every day and love them (thanks to my dad for the love of greens!).

At the heart of this book is how to prioritize what foods will benefit us the most. In a sea of processed foods and mixed messages about what to eat, there’s much value in that.

I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.
