How to use your diet to heal your body

Countless studies have shown that food plays a major role in promoting health and preventing and treating disease.

Kirsten Hartvig draws on her deep knowledge - and her many years of hands-on experience as a natural health practitioner and researcher - to give you a unique guide to healthy eating and to the use of food as medicine.

You will learn how foods stimulate the body’s natural self-healing ability, and you will gain understanding of the role of specific nutrients in treating everyday ailments, aches and pains.

Food As Medicine will also show you how to protect yourself against more serious health problems with practical diet and recipe advice.

As a unique daily health reference, Food As Medicine also takes a fresh look at the nutritional value of the foods we eat.

It will give you a better understanding of the quality of the calories obtained from the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in all sorts of foods, and it also looks in detail at the vital role played by vitamins, minerals and trace elements in maintaining health and treating disease.
