Health

Drawing on hundreds of studies and input from nutritional and medical experts, this practical and informative book shows how everyday foods and nutritional supplements can be used to heal, treat and often prevent common conditions. The 'treatments' can be surprisingly easy: eating bananas can lower blood pressure, drinking pomegranate juice can delay arthritis, and consuming more fish can calm allergies. Included in this volume are comprehensive and easy-to-follow explanations of why certain foods and nutrients are essential to good health and healing, a list of the healing foods that should be a part of every diet, and an A-Z guide to 57 disorders and how to treat them through diet. Best of all, there are 75 delicious recipes that will turn a healing diet into a true pleasure.
