Maintaining your ideal weight without going hungry or counting calories is easier than it seems. It's just a matter of knowing what kind of food is good for us, which isn't, and why.
We are nothing more than biomachines shaped by evolution and, currently, mistreated by our own ignorance. It shouldn't be this way, but the excess of information and so many conflicting interests have created a mess that never ceases to confuse and even deceive. The industry has also created very attractive but really pernicious foods.
This is a simple book on biochemistry and physiology written for people of letters, as well as a book on anthropology and history written for people of science; a rigorous and enjoyable work that puts order in the labyrinth of food while entertaining.
With this book you will understand how different kinds of food interact with our body and you will act accordingly.
You will also meet Dr. Warburg, a character of extraordinary relevance forgotten by history, whose work, which won him a Nobel Prize, should be known by everyone.
