4worldlovers:
​Praise for The food hourglass, a pioneering book about nutrition and longevity:

“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."

“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.”


“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 a standard fare in the media.”

“This book shows that healthy food is our best medicine. If the author's recommendations are followed, our healthcare will become both a lot more fun and cheaper. Highly recommended!”

This scientific article (pdf) describes some ideas behind 'The food hourglass' .

This article was written by the author of 'The food hourglass'. In this article, he also introduces a new science field called 'nutrigerontology'.

This new cover depicts an hourglass filled with food (see below). The content is exactly the same as in the book with the previous cover.

Why white tea reduces the appearance of wrinkles and at the same time is healthy for your blood vessels.

Why studies show that people who eat walnuts daily have less risk of a heart attack, and why blueberries and dark chocolate protect against Alzheimer's.

This book is written by a medical doctor who looks at the consequences of our food habits and diets in the long term.

The food hourglass contains more than 280 scientific references and debunks many myths surrounding health and the aging process.

The food hourglass was first published by Prometheus-Bert Bakker, one of the most reputable publishers in The Netherlands which, among others, published books of Stephen Hawking, Tom Wolfe and Zadie Smith.

1. The food hourglass is the first book that describes how certain foods influence the aging process. The weight loss that naturally follows is a pleasant side effect.

2. The food hourglass is the first book which looks at the influence of diets in the long term. From this, it appears that most diets are unhealthy.

3. The book is written by a physician and researcher who has been fascinated by the aging process for many years. Dr Verburgh wrote three science books by the age of 25. He published his first science book at 17 years old. His books have received several awards, nominations and reprints.

3. The food hourglass is also an illustration in the shape of an hourglass which shows at a single glance what healthy, and more specifically, unhealthy foods are. This makes the food hourglass a tool to make more healthy food choices.

4. The food hourglass is based on the latest insights into biogerontology (the science of aging).

5. The food hourglass addresses many misunderstandings in the realms of diet and health and shows for example that:

Most antioxidants are not beneficial and can be dangerous in the long term;

The food pyramid, the food plate and similar icons are outdated;

Products like green tea are not healthy because they contain antioxidants;

The only scientifically proven method that slows ageing significantly is not a drug or a ‘super-antioxidant pill’ but a certain diet.

“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.”

“Governments and public health institutions worrying about trends like the aging of populations worldwide and skyrocketing healthcare costs are strongly advised to read The food hourglass. The simple but thoroughly substantiated solution lies in healthier eating and living.”
