Publisher's Synopsis
This is not a recipe book. It IS a guide to helping you understand inflammation and the impact it can have on your health and how your health can be improved by changing the way you eat. After decades of ill health, author, Jennifer Michaels finally found relief by making changes in her diet and lifestyle. "There really isn't such a thing as an Anti-Inflammatory diet," says Michaels. "That implies a short-term eating plan but this is a long-term change in your food choices." 'Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Is it Right For You?' explains the impact of inflammation on the body and your health; discusses the link between inflammation, cancer and heart disease and the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet. Michaels has also included a questionnaire to help you determine if you may have an inflammation problem, explores anti-inflammation supplements and alternative therapies, and gives insight into the foods you should shop for and how they should be prepared. Finally, the book even offers guidelines on eating out.
