HEALTH & THE CITY BY CAITLIN REID HELPS BUSY URBANITES TO STAY FIT AND HEALTHYIN A FAST PACED, FAST FOOD URBAN EXISTENCE

Did you know that if you eat with one other person (other than a spouse), you eat 39 per cent more food than if you eat by yourself? Eat with seven or more people and you'll wolf down nearly double the amount of food... And we don't just supersize portions either... our idea of what a snack is has been drastically altered over time. Snacks should be healthy but healthy snacking in between meals has given way to mindless consumption of quick fix chocolate bars, high calorie biscuits or chips... Not good at all!

These are just two of the pitfalls of maintaining a healthy life and size, covered in Health & The City, a new book by Caitlin Reid which aims to help busy urbanites navigate their way healthily through the fast food, fast living urban jungle.

Time poor, stressed out and overwhelmed with fast food and quick fix, at-desk eating options; work drinks, lunches and general socialising - it's not easy to stay healthy and in shape in today's busy urban environment.

Health & The City not only provides advice, facts and tips about health and nutrition, more importantly it also gives achievable challenges throughout, so that by the time the reader has finished the book, he or she should already be leading a healthier lifestyle.

In short, concise and easy to absorb chapters, Health & The City covers issues from salt to sandwiches, caffeine to cornflakes, gender differences to gin and tonics and peanuts to portion control to give the normal, busy, everyday Australian some helpful information, easy to implement advice and tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle in the city.
