Certain ordinary foods have extraordinary powers. Apples, for example, can lower cholesterol levels, broccoli helps guard against cancer and garlic combats lung infections. This guide to the best foods for good health contains eating plans and recipes. A photographic catalogue profiles 50 foods with details of their therapeutic properties and scientific research. All the foods are featured in a collection of recipes for every occasion with an at-a-glance evaluation of each dish's main nutritional benefits. A health section highlights foods to eat more of to prevent or relieve conditions ranging from heart disease to colds. With so many conflicting nutrition messages around, deciding exactly which foods are healthiest and why can seem daunting. Healing Foods helps clear up the culinary confusion by explaining nutrition basics and profiling 50 key foods that can improve health, prevent illness, and promote well-being. The featured foods are beautifully photographed and accompanied by nutritional values, therapeutic properties, health benefits, and information on how to properly select, store, and cook various foods. There's a section describing the best foods to eat to enhance the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, urinary, and immune systems; treat diabetes; and improve emotional health. The special dietary needs of teens, pregnant women, and older people are also highlighted, along with special foods that are beneficial to women's health. While Healing Foods lacks step-by-step advice on putting together a good diet and may be slightly confusing for readers who are used to the American Food Pyramid and Dietary Guidelines (the author is British), it contains numerous practical tips and innovative yet easy recipes to help you incorporate more healing foods into your life. If, like increasing numbers of holistic and traditional practitioners, you believe food is your best medicine, then you should certainly consider making Healing Foods part of your library. --Ellen A...

Lots of diet books - lots of promises - lots of bunk! So says Dr. Bridell, who is actually a popular author and writer writing under a pseudonym of "Dr. Bridell." This book is different. It even comes with a guarantee. "If you read and follow this book, you will lose weight - quite a lot of weight in most cases -- and your weight loss will actually be the least important thing this book does for you..." and that is a full money-back guarantee! "Dr. Bridell" (sounds like "Bridle" as used on a horse) uses food as a metaphor for all our "appetites and passions" once we learn to "sip, savor and smell" rather than "gulp, guzzle and glut" we begin to evoke the maximum enjoyment out of the nourishment process. Its not about guilt or counting calories or limiting yourself to bland food... its about proper and thoughtful control that brings about a "fullness of joy." Once that is mastered, Dr. Bridell takes you on to the other appetites and passions where the same principles apply to enhance and maximize our experience. Its about getting the most out of life and doing it in good form at the same time! As a reader, I loved the "joy quotient" analogy. Which is: that after a period of fasting, the first bite is always the most "joyful" followed by the second and third, however there is a point of diminishing returns. That is the point at which we need to program ourselves to stop. Its like leaving a party at its peak rather than staying to the bitter end. The joy factor is greater and joy is enhanced. When we cease to glut ourselves, we don't need a "diet or nutrition guide" to tell us what to eat, our body will naturally crave those more nutritious items that it needs once we have stopped stuffing it.
