This guide to healthier living, by the ABC health guru Dr Norman Swan, covers the waterfront. Much of it is about what to eat and drink – he’s a big coffee fan, saying it’s good for you, but predictably disappointing on how much wine you can have – and parts of it may be familiar. Vegetables, especially red and green, doused in olive oil and slow roasted, are a good way to go, so too slow-cooked meats. But this is far more than a cooking guide, Swan goes into such health factors as anxiety, debilitating conditions such as endometriosis, and sex, fertility, pornography, screen addiction and more. Along the way he explodes the Paleo diet myth and shares aspects of his Jewish, Glaswegian upbringing. Entertaining, knowledgeable, full of common sense, and it’s impossible not to hear that voice throughout.
