Foods That Heal

An A-Z of the foods that can be used as natural remedies to prevent & cure common ailments

About this book

As seen in The Sun, comprehensive and fully illustrated throughout, Foods That Heal is the go-to reference for those wanting to nourish their body from the inside out.

So much of what we eat affects our general health and well-being and there are many widely available foods that, when eaten regularly, not only stave off illness, but also act as a natural cure for ailments.

In this essential book, over 1,000 super-foods are listed with their nutritional breakdown and special properties highlighted for instant and easy reference. As well as those well-known fruits, nuts and seeds that have been traditionally used as natural remedies for thousands of years, such as honey and lemon to soothe sore throats and oranges for vitamin C, discover more about nutritional powerhouses like blueberries and kale, turmeric and Himalayan salt, avocadoes and pomegranates.

So why not add a handful of acai berries to your morning cereal for a boost of antioxidants and fiber, or sprinkle chia seeds on your salad for a powerful protein hit and to aid sluggish digestion? Did you know that adding calcium-rich kale to your diet could ward off osteoporosis? Or that substituting your potato for a beta carotene-rich sweet potato could significantly lower your risk of developing cancer? Simple tweaks to your everyday diet could add up to huge changes in your future health, and this guide will tell you all you need to know to make those changes as easy and straightforward as possible.
