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.
