FORMER Cabinet minister Yeo Ning Hong, who had a health scare when he was diagnosed with heart problems in the eighties, has launched his fourth book, which focuses on dieting.

After 25 years of researching and following a healthy regime, chemistry-trained Dr Yeo decided to summarise the principles of effective dieting and living in his latest book, titled T.H.E. A2z Diet: Dieting made as simple as possble.

In it, he expounds on the importance of having sufficient exercise and water and teaches the reader how not to overeat.

The book is now available at all major bookstores at $24.95 before GST.
