	The Healthy Food Directory Michael van Straten Avg. Customer Rating:
Reviews Synopsis This directory describes how most everyday foods can have a positive effect on the body. A colour key identifies which food benefits which particular body system, and information is provided on energy values and vitamin and mineral content. Customer Comments A reader from Glasgow, Scotland , 7 August, 1999 Full of interesting facts (unknown to me) about food. I bought this book on the recommendation of a book reviewer in The (Glasgow) Herald newspaper and was not disappointed. It is full of interesting facts about food, such as, two apples a day can lower cholestrol levels. Lemons boost the immune system and help acne. Cheese provides zinc which benefits the male libido. I plan to incorporate the information into my recipe folder to maximise the benefits to my family.

	DK Living:Healing Foods Miriam Polunin Avg. Customer Rating:
Reviews Amazon.co.uk Tea may be a cure for flu. Globe artichokes have a beneficial effect on the gallbladder, liver and kidneys. Carrots appear to have a role to play in preventing lung cancer. Recent research indicates that shellfish are not, after all, linked to high blood cholesterol levels. In Healing Foods Miriam Polunin profiles 20 key foods with demonstrable therapeutic properties and a further 30 with "health-enhancing powers", listing their health benefits in fascinating detail. An impressive scientific bibliography lends weight to sometimes unexpected contentions (bilberries can help treat varicose veins). Despite the title, Healing Foods is less about healing than prevention and the role that healthy foods as part of a well-balanced diet can play in fighting off disease and generally mitigating the wears and tears of modern existence. A brisk and informative introduction deals with the principles of such a diet; it's followed by the food profiles and a section examining in detail their benefits to the body and its systems. Finally a really delectable selection of recipes puts it all in context. Food, after all, must be about pleasure as well as health and Healing Foods vindicates itself here. The Dorling Kindersley illustrative style, which involves picturing every single foodstuff mentioned, pays occasionally curious dividends, such as the list of healthy starches accompanied by helpful photographs of a couple of twists of pasta, a potato and a slice of bread. An appetising bowl of porridge makes more than one appearance. --Robin Davidson Synopsis Covering both basic and more advanced information, this book on healing foods includes a clear explanation of the subject, equipment and preparation. Detailed step-by-step photographs and instructions take the reader systematically through all the techniques. Customer Comments A reader from London, England , 13 November, 2000 Helpful and sensible food advice Like all the DK books this is beautifully illustrated and everything looks delicious The book concentrates on the foods you should eat for health that have special benefits, rather than what you shouldn't eat. It also covers advice for specific disorders as well as explaining the digestive system. My main criticism was the lack of more specific advice for specific diseases as well as clearer distinctions between the benefits of supplements and the real foods Overall it is one of the best nutrition books I've read and is both inspiring and informative
