Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
SuperFoods Rx
Steven Pratt · 2009
72/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely research-grounded nutrition guide that helped put whole-food eating on the mainstream map, with practical meal guidance and real recipes to back it up. The science has moved on in the two decades since publication, and the statistical sidebars can bog down casual readers, but the core advice — eat blueberries, salmon, spinach, walnuts — has aged reasonably well. Worth picking up as an accessible entry point to evidence-based eating, with the caveat that it's now a historical snapshot.
