The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices overstimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body's wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

So glad I bought this book!:
Since I suffer with inflammation in a major way, I was excited to find this book that not only explains

learn about the positive changes I can make to undo the... more info

This book is not an extreme approach to healthful eating which I appreciated. It is not suggesting you become a vegan to maintain a healthy lifestyle, just making slight augmentations to the diet can have a huge impact on how you feel and how your body responds to illness. I'm using this book in hopes that my daughter will have decreased issues with... more info
best thought of as a cookbook:
'The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book.." comes in two sections. The first section, about 50 pages, talks about what is an anti-inflammation diet and why it is important. I found this discussion to be interesting but a bit too concise. No doubt this was done on purpose to allow for the 100+ recipes that the rest of the book contains. These recipes are quite diverse, sometimes exotic, and always very easy to follow. Every week I try a new recipe and have yet to be disappointed. Bottom line: light... more info
Yuck:
I've been reading a lot about the anti inflammation diet as an excellent way to prevent all that horrible cancer, heart disease and diabetes type stuff, so I thought 'yep. That's for me'. I bought The Anti Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book by Jessica K Black N.D. Well, what a let down. I was hoping for a book that bridged the gap between normal eating and saintly abstinence but this book was a disapointment. There were no pictures of any of the recipes because the food was so hideously unappetising that... more info
