The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book

Alameda, Calif. (PRWEB) November 16, 2006 -- The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book is the first book to give the complete program with specifics on how to eat and cook in order to prevent and counter inflammation. Recently, the connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis and other chronic diseases has become established. Any inflammation in the body interferes with and slows down metabolism and the healing response. Chronic inflammation within our bodies erodes our wellness and paves the path for ill health. The anti-inflammation diet promotes simpler and easier digestion and offers less insult to the body by reducing intake of toxins and other difficult to digest foods.

Medical research shows that chronic inflammation in our bodies erodes wellness, makes us age faster, and leads to degenerative diseases. Hidden food allergies can over-stimulate the immune system, causing inflammation, which in turn slows down metabolism and our natural healing response. Unfortunately, due to imbalances in the standard American diet, most Americans suffer from fairly high levels of inflammation. As a result, many develop chronic diseases that could be controlled or prevented through proper nutrition.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seven out of ten deaths are caused by chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, all of which have a direct connection to inflammation- and nutrition. What can be done to ensure optimal health and healing? "The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book," written by leading naturopathic doctor Jessica K. Black, N.D., helps readers reclaim health by guiding them to practices that facilitate cellular regeneration rather than cellular degeneration and disease. Dr. Black educates readers on making diet choices that promote easier digestion, reduce the intake of toxins, and allow greater absorption of nutrients. The result? Improved cellular function and metabolism, and possibly greater vitality and beauty - not to mention a longer life.

Dr. Black's book is the first to provide specifics on what to eat and how to cook in order to counter and even prevent inflammation. While providing delicious food choices, the diet eliminates allergens and reduces the intake of pesticides, hormones and antibiotic residues. It encourages whole foods; reduces processed foods, sugars, and other potential toxins such as hydrogenated oils; and encourages ample intake of vegetables and fruits for essential nutrients. Changing one's diet, preparing healthy meals, and enjoying nutritious foods were never so easy.

Appropriate for men and women of all ages - and especially beneficial for children - "The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book," will help people learn to eat and cook healthily. The first part of the book explains the benefits of healthy eating, and provides simple information about the scientific background of anti-inflammation diets. The second half contains 125 easy-to-prepare recipes, a week's sample menus for summer and winter, full nutritional analysis for all recipes, as well as a food substitution chart, so that readers can modify their favorite recipes and make them healthier. This exciting and revolutionary new book is available now in bookstores nationwide.
