New Foods for Healing

Going beyond traditional healing foods such as herbs, the editors of Prevention magazine and health writer Selene Yeager present this alphabetical index to a variety of individual foods and their specific health benefits. More than 100 foods listed here have special qualities, some obvious and expected (apples and their heart-healing properties) and others more obscure and exotic (garlic's many wonders). Yeager also shares useful facts about food interaction, individual ailments, and general nutrition that will help the reader make the most of every food he or she chooses to ingest. The health-minded chef or consumer will find a font of practical advice in this straightforward, practical volume. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
