Over 150 new recipes to control inflammation and boost your health
Inflammation is linked to heart disease, cancer and stroke (the three leading causes of death), as well as arthritis, diabetes, adrenal stress and fatigue. The anti-inflammatory diet laid out in Dr. Black's books eliminates common allergenic foods, processed foods, sugars, toxins and trans fats, and adds whole foods and more vegetables for essential nutrients. By reducing inflammation it also reduces stress on the body and nerves and facilitates cellular regeneration and whole-body health.
Dr. Black's best-selling The Anti-Inflammation Diet & Recipe Book was one of the first to explain the benefits of an anti-inflammation nutrition program. In this sequel she presents even more strategies and recipes for delicious, easy meals. In addition to the latest advice on building health, Dr. Black explains how to deal with stress and the other emotional issues connected to inflammation.
The recipes in this book can be used to create a variety of nutritious meals. Many recipes offer vegan, gluten-free, grain-free or dairy-free options. Dr. Black also includes handy sections on grocery shopping essentials, a guide to ordering in restaurants, handy charts of foods to eat or avoid and notes on childhood wellness.
As before, all the recipes have been prepared and tested by Dr. Black, now assisted by her two daughters. Whether you're ready for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, Dr. Black has a delicious inflammation-free recipe for you to use and share with your family and friends.
