The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and
other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food
allergies and poor dietary choices over stimulate the immune system and
cause inflammatory responses that erode the body's wellness and pave the
path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black
has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and
even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the
book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an
accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains
108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and
includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes
can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of
sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as
well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite
recipes to increase their healing potential. This second edition
includes a new introduction from the author, as well as brand new and
revised recipes.
