Product Description

Customer Response

A better lifestile with this book.
In this book you may find things you are already doing. But for us this book contains a host of home remedies we were not aware of.
We are totally satisfied with it, even so that my wife bought a second book as a gift to her brother.
No doubt, highly recommended

Excellent condition
This was my first purchase of a used book and I must say that I am very pleased as to the condition. I would definitely purchase used again.

exactly what we were looking for
We saw this book while traveling. I ordered it online and by the time we got home, it was there waiting for us

Healing with food
I can't stop reading this up-to-date, packed-with-information guide to nutrition. The sample recipes are exemplary as to how to impliment this nutrition. 'Tis better to attack everyday disorders with these methods before going to the growing expense of Doctors. Of course acute disorders need to be medically addressed. As an RN who likes to cook healthy, I find this book pretty exhaustive and facinating.

How Common Foods Can Contribute to Good Health
This fact-filled volume has foods listed in alphabetical order, interspersed with health conditions that can be remedied. Some of the latter are intuitively expected in a book like this (e. g., heartburn, high blood pressure), while others are not (e. g., lupus, aging, motion sickness).

This work consists of 140 short chapters, each on a separate topic. This makes it easy to zero-in on a particular issue of interest or concern without getting bogged down in details and tangents. Furthermore, there is also a handy, profuse index for cross-reference of foods and health conditions.

The information presented is extensive. While some of it can pass for "conventional wisdom", other information cannot--at least not easily. Did you know, for example, that beans can stabilize blood sugar and lower cholesterol levels? Or that the quercetin found in the skins of apples can guard against heart attacks? Or that honey has both antibacterial and antibiotic properties? Or that the oleic acid found in avocados can help lower cholesterol levels? Or that the lowly, smelly onion is full of compounds that can help prevent the development of cancer and coronary heart disease?
