In this particular book, the importance of food in the human body is highlighted, the interaction of good physical and mental health is emphasized, while at the same time an approach is made to eating disorders as a trigger for us all to ask ourselves what the real meaning of our lives is in the end... but also as the same people we are, what commonality we are looking for, which unfortunately when we cannot find it, we are led to addictions, whether it is called food, cigarettes, drugs, gambling, or an eating disorder.
