Publishers Text

First published in 1989, this revised and updated guide reports the progress made in the understanding of food over the past five years, focusing on how as well as what we eat. The book is presented in three parts. Part one introduces a healthy diet to suit the different stages of life. Part two gives advice on the prevention and treatment of many common ailments with dietary remedies for physical and behavioural problems. Part three offers special diets with charts and statistics based on the latest research, which should help the reader recognize when to exclude or reduce intake of particular foods, and at what stage to try and lose or gain weight. The book presents: an up-to-date guide to the medicinal value of foods; an A-Z directory of healing foods for approximately 80 ailments; a dietary advice for pregnancy and the menopause; and quick-reference charts on foods, nutrients and ailments. Penny Stanway is the author of "Breast is Best".
