UNPROCESS YOUR LIFE
Break Free from Ultra-Processed Foods for Good

Research shows that 1 in 7 of us across the globe is addicted to ultra-processed foods (UPFs), with 1 in 8 children also addicted to UPFs. Often labelled as ‘healthy’, UPFs are everywhere we look – in our shopping baskets, our children’s lunch boxes and our kitchen cupboards. Yet research has shown these foods are synonymous with ill-health and a litany of chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Breaking free from the hold of these cheap, convenient UPFs is one of the best things we can do for our health, but it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

In UNPROCESS YOUR LIFE, expert nutritionist Rob Hobson sets out practical steps and delicious recipes to make your diet fresher and healthier, yet still bursting with flavour.

Helping to navigate the modern food landscape, Rob explains how to identify UPFs, providing handy tips on choosing foods to suit your lifestyle. The recipes have been structured to satisfy all those moments when we are most vulnerable to ultraprocessed foods, such as dinnertime with the kids, quick meals and packed lunches.

Sharing effortless wholefood swaps and tasty recipes that will create speedy meals, freezer favourites, sauces and snacks, UNPROCESS YOUR LIFE presents a simple, satisfying and achievable way to embrace food without the nasties.

THE COMPLETE BLUE ZONES de Dan Buettner

National Geographic Explorer and best-selling author Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity, which he found in the Blue Zones: places around the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives.

THE COMPLETE BLUE ZONES:
Secrets To Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest
by Dan Buettner
National Geographic, April 2023
(via Kaplan/Defiore Rights)

In THE COMPLETE BLUE ZONES, Buettner returns to Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda, California to check in on the super-agers living in the blue zones and interprets the not-so-secret sauce of purpose, faith, community, down-time, natural movement, and plant-based eating that has powered as many as 10 additional years of healthy living in these regions. And Buettner reveals an all-new Blue Zone—Singapore—where pro-health government policies have increased longevity (and reduced healthcare costs), making it the first man-made Blue Zone yet explored. Throughout his two decades of research, Buettner has worked with some of National Geographic’s top photographers—including David McLain and Gianluca Cola—to document the healthy habits of the world’s longest living communities. In this informative collection, their work punctuates Buettner’s lively text, offering a beautiful introduction to the Blue Zones and a companion to fans of the Blue Zones Netflix series.

Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer, a writer, and the founder of Quest Network, Inc. His 2005 cover story for National Geographic magazine, « Secrets of Living Longer, » was a finalist for the National Magazine Award. He has appeared on CNN, David Letterman, Good Morning America, Primetime Live, and the Today show to discuss his Blue Zones research, and he has delivered more than 500 keynote speeches over the last 10 years. He is the author of the best-selling Blue Zones Kitchen, as well as The Blue Zones, The Blue Zones Solution, and The Blue Zones of Happiness.
