This new edition will include a new introduction by author Jessica
Black, as well as several new and revised recipes. 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.
