Eating for Good Health – Readers Digest Health & Healing the Natural Way

Description

More and more people today are choosing to take greater responsibility for their own health rather than relying on the doctor to step in with a cure when something goes wrong. We now recognise that we can influence our health by making an improvement in lifestyle – a better diet, more exercise and reduced stress. People are also becoming increasingly aware that there are other healing methods – some new, others very ancient – that can help to prevent illness or be used as a complement to orthodox medicine.
The series Health and Healing the Natural Way will help you to make your own health choices by giving you clear, comprehensive, straightforward and encouraging information and advice about methods of improving your health. The series explains the many different natural therapies now available – aromatherapy, herbalism, acupressure and many others – and the many circumstances in which they may be of benefit when used in conjunction with conventional medicine.
In EATING FOr GOOD HEaLTH you will find out just how much your health and general well-being is determined by what you eat and how even a minor change in your diet can help to strengthen your resistance to many illnesses from the common cold to heart disease, cancer, hypertension and stroke. You will find out how to assess every aspect of your present diet and understand the different part played in a healthy diet by protein, carbohydrates, fibre, fats and minerals. The book highlights aspects of the diets of different countries that may be usefully incorporated into a healthy diet. And there are practical suggestions to help you make the changes in your diet and that of every family member that will enable you to reap the ultimate benefit – a long and healthy life.
