Are you interested in your health? If so, Healing Foods is a great read for you. This book, by Miriam Polunin, is interesting in the sense that it gives you insight into nearly everything you eat. You can look inside, find what you're planning to eat today, and figure out whether it's good or bad for you. You can find out what individual ingredients do for you nutritionally, and how the things tyou are eating will affect you in the long run. For example, by merely looking at the coer you are informed that shellfish support the immune system, ginger stimulates circulation, and broccoli raises cancer resistence.
The first part of the book gives historical insight on food, demonstrating how food was used as medicine in the old days. The next section presents a person's basic diet. It lists the main food groups and what each conssits of. The next section deals with with ways to improve your health. It shows you the diverse parts of your body's living system and the ways you can affect each one by your daily intake of food.
The last part, and one of the most interesting, is the seciton containing recipes. It lists recipes, sorted by course, and the nutritional value of each. The recipes are tasty-looking and provide the reader with a sense of hunger.
After flipping thorugh the recipes you'll definitely be hungry and itching to eat away at each page. It's a great book for cooks who want to maintain a slim figure. You'll learn the basic vlaues of foods and the different ways you can stay healthy. I highly recommend this book, and promise you'll enjoy reading it.
