Book Description

March 1, 1992
The Knopf Canada Book of Healing Foods is a guide for everyday living, and the fastest way to understand how the foods you eat can help to heal, and help you remain healthy.

There's a healing food for almost every common health problem - from colds, stress, insomnia and high blood pressure to more complicated illnesses - and most are as close as your local grocer. Healing Foods is an indispensable guide to choosing the best foods for an active life - a bright and friendly market of knowledge that makes the time you spend at the dinner table an investment in spirited living.

In beautiful colour, it also highlights health-giving foods and their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Information on buying, storing and preparing healing foods is clearly listed, and each item - from pineapples and chilies to almonds and apricots - is linked to delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes from around the world.

A questionnaire helps you assess your diet and general health to pinpoint problem areas, while a section on ailments and treatments makes it easy to address individual concerns. Fully indexed, illustrated throughout in full colour, Healing Foods is a goldmine of information and recipes to treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and informative source, April 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Healing Foods: The Ultimate Authority on the Curative Power of Nutrition (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is fabulous. It presents an easy to use, wide ranging amount of information, and presents it in a way that makes you excited to cook and eat all these good things! With recipes, information of good vitamin sources etc, it has remained one of my most important nutritional reference books for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars a valuable resource, April 12, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Healing Foods: The Ultimate Authority on the Curative Power of Nutrition (Mass Market Paperback)
This has been a book that I can always depend on when I need a reference. The information is similiar to that I have received from nurses and doctors. It is just so handy to have it right at my fingertips. Several of my friends have asked to borrow this book, and I'm always apprehensive until it is returned to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars For the beginners, August 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Healing Foods: The Ultimate Authority on the Curative Power of Nutrition (Mass Market Paperback)
Simple, alphabetized list of foods, illnesses and remedies. Not very detailed, but rather like a pocket-book reference point.
