Overview

Eating well should be easy. But so often it is not. How to Eat Well at Every Age provides practical tips based on psychological theory and evidence to enable people of every age to eat well and build a good relationship with food. Eating well is key to how we interact with others, manage our emotions and our sense of wellbeing. The book describes how we can help others and ourselves to eat well across the lifespan, from good food parenting as our children are growing up, to eating well as an adult when the food environment can seem to be against us, to caring for the needs of people as they age. It describes how we learn what food we like and how our eating habits develop. It explores how parents can help their child eat well through good food parenting and the key pillars of being a good role model, saying the right things, and managing their environment. It then covers how to eat well as an adult in terms of eating less to lose weight (without doing harm) or changing engrained habits to eat more healthily in general. Finally, it explores how eating well can be key to looking after ourselves or others as they age when living independently or in residential care. This book is for anyone who wants a healthy relationship with food, for themselves or those they care for.
