Heal Yourself With Natural Foods

By Nancy Appleton

Book Overview

Put your body back in its natural healing mode! Uncover the secret to wellness: a balanced body chemistry or homeostasis. An expert nutritionist gets to the heart of what makes us susceptible to diseases, from diabetes to osteoporosis to cancer, and shows how to fight off these illnesses with a comprehensive program that addresses the physical impact of diet, food allergies, and environmental contaminants. Among the culprits--what the author calls "abusive foods": the high levels of sugar and fat that most of us consume regularly, alcohol, and caffeine. Even seemingly healthful meals may lead to harm because overcooking, the combination of items, or the hefty amount on the plate make digestion impossible. Food lists; three plans for maintenance, simple healing, and maximum health; recipes; charts; and self-assessment exercises will lead you on the road to strengthening your immune system and living a long and fit life.
