Eat your life
Science, flavors and health
Montreal, March 2, 2026 - For a long time, we believed that health was built by subtraction: removing sugar, removing fat, removing pleasure. However, the most recent scientific discoveries indicate the opposite. What if health were built by addition? Adding fiber, color, flavor, and… beauty!
In Eat Your Life, Catherine St-Laurent and Anne-Julie Tessier (PhD, nutrition) combine their talents to offer a delicious, enlightening and caring book to add life to years and years to life.
On the menu are brilliant tips and inspired recipes that aim to enhance our daily lives with pleasure and simplicity: falafels, herb yogurt and pan-fried radishes, rustic apricot galette, salmon carpaccio and pearl barley salad, chocolate and hazelnut oil mousse, mackerel kimchi broth, etc.
Divided into four chapters (muscular, cognitive, mental and long-term health), the book helps us to better understand what happens in the body as it changes with age (hormones, muscle mass, energy, microbiota) and offers us concrete solutions to improve the trajectory of our well-being and longevity by disregarding often contradictory trends and injunctions.
