Secrets of the World's Healthiest Children: Why Japanese children have the longest, healthiest lives - and how yours can too

Description

A recent global analysis by The Lancet revealed that Japanese children are the healthiest in the world. Bestselling author and Tokyo-born Naomi Moriyama set out to discover the secrets of Japan's success. Travelling with her young son, Naomi interviewed scientists, doctors and researchers in Japan, the US and the rest of the world as well as gathering the insights of Japanese mums. The result: a highly practical and revolutionary guide that will help you establish healthy eating and lifestyle habits that will last a lifetime. In SECRETS OF THE WORLD'S HEALTHIEST CHILDREN, Naomi and her husband William Doyle reveal life-changing behaviours and tips that will help any parent achieve the results they want.
