Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Health: Hundreds of Ways to Incorporate Omega-3 Rich Foods into Your Diet to Fight Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Disease, and More (Healthy Living Cookbooks)

Great food for inflammation sufferers.Cut your finger accidentally and the area will swell, redden, and heat up. This type of acute inflammatory response is the body's reaction to trauma, and it's an essential part of the healing process. But inflammation can be harmful when it hangs around too long and refuses to leave. When the inflammation switch refuses to turn off, the body operates as if it is always under attack (the older we get, the more likely this is to happen). White blood cells flood the system for weeks, months, and even years.Researchers are now linking low-grade, persistent inflammation to premature aging, heart disease, M.S., diabetes, Alzheimer's, psoriasis, arthritis, and cancer. While anti-inflammatory drugs do exist, they can injure the stomach or suppress the immune system. Fortunately, the situation can be remedied by a change in diet, specifically by altering the kinds of fats you eat. Omega-3 fatty acids tend to decrease inflammation while omega-6 fats and trans-fats increase inflammation. While many foods in the standard American diet (unrefined white flour, sugar, red meat, diary, fast food, and food additives) exacerbate inflammation, a healthy diet made up of fish, nuts, seeds, oils, lean grass-fed meats, and fruits and vegetables can help lessen or prevent inflammation. Likewise, certain spices such as turmeric, cloves, and ginger have proven anti-inflammatory activity.Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Health will help those with inflammation incorporate anti-inflammatory foods into their everyday diet. Sample recipes may include French-Canadian Pea Soup, Sumac Salmon, Maple-Ginger Butternut Squash, Lime-Ginger Glazed Chicken with Fennel Relish, Green Salad with Grapes and Sunflower Seeds, Cod with Saffron Sauce, and more.

Arthritis: Fight It With the Blood Type Diet (D’adamo, Peter. Eat Right 4 Your Type Library.)

CureMyWife.com — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 09:37:41 +0000

From the author of the two million copy Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type series- a library of books to help defeat eight of the most common conditions with the Blood Type Diet.(r) Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has forever changed the face of eating right to lose weight and achieve maximum health. Because he discovered what many already instinctively new-that a plan that works for one person may make another ill-there will never be a one-size-fits-all diet again. And since we now know that each blood type is affected differently by common diseases and conditions, there will never be a one-size-fits-all plan of action. Now Dr. D'Adamo adds two new volumes to hisEat Right for Your Type Health Library. The first two were Cancer and Diabetes. The next books tackle arthritis (including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions caused by inflammation) and cardiovascular disease (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke). In these volumes, readers will find new information individualized for their blood type and illness. Self-assessment tests that help determine status and measure progress are included, as well as supplementary, lifestyle, and exercise protocols tailored to each blood type and each condition. There has never been a better arsenal for fighting disease, nor an easier or clearer tool.
