The food hourglass is a revolutionary new look at how food influences the way we age. Based on the latest scientific discoveries about nutrition and the ageing process, The food hourglass shows you how to slow down the signs of ageing through what you eat, and lose weight in the process.
The food hourglass has been an international number 1 bestseller since release, having sold over 300,000 copies. Written and developed by Dr Kris Verburgh, this book addresses health and weight loss from a unique new angle, namely the ageing process. It debunks many diet myths and introduces a revolutionary new food model, the food hourglass.
The hourglass will show you how to immediately identify what is healthy and unhealthy food, and how to replace unhealthy foods with alternatives. The hourglass helps you lose weight, slow down the ageing process and reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Never before has such a food model been developed.
The food hourglass isn’t a diet – so it’s easy to start and simple to continue. Just begin eating the right food to see a healthier, thinner and younger-looking you.
Dr Kris Verburgh is a leading medical doctor and scientist of biogerontology (the science of the ageing process). Having written his first book at just 16, now aged 27 he is one of the youngest and most prolific science writers in the world and at the forefront of ageing research.
“In a fluent and readable style of writing, this doctor critically exposes the link between our genetically determined aging process and our diet. This is highly recommended for anyone who consciously wants to eat more healthily and is, given the emphasis on prevention, especially useful for policy makers.”
Herman Becq, MD, endocrinologist

“Nutrition is an important factor in both the prevention and the development of cancer. This book makes you think about habits we take for granted.”
An Vandebroek, MD, cancer specialist
“The greatest merit of the author is that he goes into depth on nutritional issues in general and in the West in particular. Using plain language, he brings clarity to the powerfully hyped topic of nutrition that has become such standard fare in the media.”
Hans Decoster, MD, cardiologist
