Leave the complicated fad diets behind and get back to the basics with this friendly guide to eating better, feeling better, and living better

Eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated or confusing, but sometimes even the most health-conscious of us feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and advice available. Eat Real Food takes things back to the basics, guiding you to make simple, positive dietary choices so that you aren't tempted to give up on your health goals. At the core of this approach are the "Flexi Five"-the five healthy food groups that are most important for keeping your brain and body balanced and happy. They are:

· Green leafy vegetables
· Whole grains
· Healthy fats
· Natural sweeteners
· Superfoods

Nutrition teacher and foodie Julie Montagu introduces you to the superheroes in each of these different food groups. You will learn about how best to prepare them, what nutritional benefits they offer, and how you can incorporate them into your daily diet-whether you're at home or on the go. And the advice doesn't stop there. In addition to delicious recipes, Julie shares how you can improve your health and increase your happiness with meditation, affirmations, simple breathing exercises, and gentle yoga poses.
