Rather than diets or exercise, this revised and updated guide shows that the best tool for treating weight problems is the human mind. Most weight difficulties are the result of an emotional or mental issue that affects the mind, which in turn alters eating habits and the body itself for the worse. By learning to harness the strength of their own inner power, people with weight concerns will discover how to effectively deal with and remove these issues. Correcting the mind will result in steady, lasting weight loss, a healthier physique, and improved self-esteem.

Based on scientific findings, this book explains how, through dietary changes and relaxation techniques, the reader can uncover the underlying source of pain and naturally eliminate its cause. It also includes easy-to-follow recipes and advice on how to use different foods as medicine. Foods have special effects on pain, and research studies substantiate this, says Neal Barnard, M.D., in Foods That Fight Pain, a book endorsed by fellow doctors Dean Ornish and Andrew Weil. You can use foods to fight pain in these ways: 1. Choose pain-safe foods. Reduce inflammation by avoiding foods that may be causing or aggravating your pain. 2. Add soothing foods that ease pain. Different foods may improve blood flow, relieve inflammation, or balance hormones. 3. Use supplements if needed. Herbs, extracts, and vitamins can relieve pain. Barnard explores a variety of medical conditions, such as migraines, arthritis, digestive problems, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, herpes, sickle-cell anemia, kidney stones, urinary infections, and back, chest, breast, menstrual, and cancer pain. For each, Barnard explains the causes of the pain and what dietary changes are likely to alleviate it, with exercise and lifestyle recommendations. Barnard backs up his points with 30 pages of research citations. Most of the recipes are quick to prepare, and include an elimination diet to avoid trigger foods. A nutritional breakdown (calories, fat, protein, carbohydrate, and sodium) accompanies each recipe. Following the advice in this book will not only relieve your pain, but increase your overall health. Highly recommended. --Joan Price
