It is well known that a good healthy diet can prevent various types of illness.

What is less well known is that specific foods can not only prevent certain medical conditions but in many cases can heal them or alleviate their symptoms.

'Food is Medicine' is a unique fully illustrated practical guide to the healing properties of foods (and drinks), organized with charts and through cross-referencing to give you instant access to the vital facts.

The book is structured in three major parts:

Part One: Guide to Healing Foods

This directory of more than 140 foods is divided into four chapters: vegetables, cereals and pulses; fruits and nuts; herbs, spices and condiments; and meat, fish and dairy products.

Each food covered has its own entry, highlighting the most important information: the key active ingredients of the food and the specific ailments it can address.

Part Two: Foods for Common Ailments

Here, more than 80 common ailments are grouped according to the body systems they affect.

For each body system you will find a checklist of suitable medicinal foods, an introduction to the main contributions that diet can make to keeping the body system healthy and curing or alleviating problems, and an ailment-by-ailment profile, with detailed notes on foods to eat and foods to avoid.

Part Three: Healing Recipes

The third section of the book offers more than 180 specially devised recipes for health and healing - soups and salads, starters, main courses and accompaniments, desserts, juices, pickles and preserves, and medicinal drinks, tinctures and syrups.

Other valuable features of Food is Medicine include a series of extended practical and informative features on seven Star Foods that are particularly rich in health-restoring properties, and an easy-to-follow Four-Week Detox Program.

A unique combination of practical health and medical resource, health-conscious food buyer's guide and healthy eating cookbook, Food is Medicine brings everyday health within your reach.
