I am immensely grateful to Nina Omotoso, my nutritional therapist researcher, and also to Jerome Burne, Dr Stephen Sinatra, Dr Fedon Lindberg and many other switched-on doctors and researchers who have helped to keep me up to date with the ocean of studies on nutrition, medicine and heart disease. I am also grateful to the hands-on feedback from the participants in our Zest4Life groups who have shared their experiences of trying out the principles in this book. Also, a big thanks to the editorial team at Little, Brown Gill Bailey, Jillian Stewart and Jan Cutler and everyone else who has helped to get this information out to as many people as possible. Most of all I am grateful to my wife, Gaby, who is always there for me.
