Book Description

December 26, 2008
Clean out your medicine cabinet and restock with healing and appealing items from the grocery store. Treat the most common ailments naturally, safely, and deliciously-and live pain free, disease free, and worry free!

Rely less on pills and more on real food. How much? How often? Here you'll find all the answers, the research-validated treatments, and successful cures for dozens of common conditions. The past few years have been filled with intriguing announcements from the world of medical research. Forget about wonder drugs-we're living in a time of wonder foods. The foods described in this book are nutritional powerhouses bursting with compounds that have specific and well-defined health benefits-included are 75 healthy recipes that will please every member of the family.
Healing foods section includes information about:
* How a rainbow of fruits and vegetables (8 to 9 servings a day)-the wider the variety the better-will lower the risk of an array of cancers
* How dark chocolate contains hefty amounts of disease-fighting flavonoids and can significantly improve blood pressure
* How olive oil lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol and raises "good" HDL cholesterol
* How spinach, in addition to protecting your eyes from macular degeneration, is a valuable source of vitamin K, which can help maintain bone density

Discover cures for common conditions from allergies to gum disease, from insomnia to lowering your cholesterol. Changing your diet won't guarantee that you'll never get sick or need drugs, but eating the right food can help heal what ails you and can bolster your body's defenses against disease, treat disease directly, and even slow the aging process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem!, May 16, 2009
This review is from: Food Cures: Fight Disease with Your Fork! (Paperback)
Probably the best reference of its type out there. Basically telling you what to eat for what ails you, it's well-researched & indexed. It provides us additionally with recipes for tasty-looking dishes & vital educational info, all in a colorful eye-pleasing format. My only issue with the recipes is for Spinach Salad, since spinach, like tomatoes, provides its greatest health benefits when cooked.

I found this '09 pb edition here after deciding not to shell out $46 to Rdrs. Dig. for the '07 hardcvr ed. A fascinating read for the health-conscious foodie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Excellent!, April 5, 2009
By 
WiseWoman (South Eastern USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food Cures: Fight Disease with Your Fork! (Paperback)
Don't miss this book! It's absolutely excellent. I was surprised at how well-researched the text of this book is and, when I then glanced at the team of professionals who were consulted for the book, readily understood why it is so excellent. This book is chuck full of useful information in an easy-to-read and understand format that is also reasonably concise for each topic covered.
Bravo! And please keep up the good work!
