Publisher's Synopsis
Nat Hawes has spent 8 years researching and compiling this fascinating compendium of foods and the health-giving properties with which they are associated. Her sources range from a lifetime of experience travelling abroad to research via libraries and university websites and include a vast range of scientific papers which she has analysed and summarised in everyday language. She reviews both the health problems that can be helped by nutritional interventions and the healing properties of the full spectrum of natural (as opposed to processed) foods and drinks.
