My daughter's mother-in-law is an herbalist and nutritionist. She knows all there is to know about herbal and nutritional healing. If you have something physical bothering you, you just call her and she tells you what to do.

This is *the* book to learn how each and every food will effect your body: the pro's and con's included.
The A-Z of food is listed along with many health and nutrition topic's such as 'what to feed a baby who is at the weaning stage', that's just one from the top of my head. It is easy to read and is great for reference if you need to look something up quickly.
This book help's you to understand what you should be eating when you have a cold, low BP, anaemia etc etc. If your Dr mention's you are...more

This is a nice resource book if you want to know of some of the advantages and disadvantages of certain foods. It is chock full of all kinds of fruits, veggies, meat, nuts, etc. It also has a section on certain diseases/illnesses/afflictions that tells you what foods might be most beneficial for you and what you should probably stay away from. My only suggestion to those who read this, is to remember that everyone's bodies are different. That just because a suggestion is made in this book, doesn...more
This book is a must have for every health concious person. Not only it enlists the benefits and drawbaks of common fruits, vegetables and other eatables including cheese and chocolates, it also advices what to eat and what to avoid on various diseases. The book covers the complete nutritional details of food items.
This is not a one time read but can be used as a reference everytime when you need to be sure about some diet. Well researched and a thorough guide for safe and healthy eating.

A-Z guide to healthy eating and living. Very well illustrated and clear. The book is split into easy small sections for reference, from Asparagus to varicose veins! The foods that harm and ailments sections are informative and suggest what you should take plently of and/or cut down on. The foods that heal sections point out the benefits and the drawbacks. Great book to dip in and out of.
This book is very informative and easy to read.
Going in alphabetical order, the book looks both at foods (listing what is good about them and what is bad), and various diseases and health disorders (and what foods are recommended and what should be avoided). It may not have the most up-to-date research. Nevertheless, as a resource on nutrition and health for the layperson, it is quite useful, and for the avid reader, it can be quite an interesting read for sure.

A fantastic reference for health conscious people. It give an authentic and meaningful description and valuation of different food groups and items, and how you can rightfully consume these with the aim of gaining and maintaining better health.
An interesting look at different foods and what each are good for. A nice collection to keep handy.
A great reference book. Very interesting and helpful.
I like this book because it annotates the drawbacks of what are commonly known as healthy foods and herbs, eg garlic. I take garlic raw as an antiviral remedy but didn't know that it could induce migraines. It was helpful to find this out as I had taken it in quite large quantities for tonsillitis and ended up with a severe migraine. I like the illustrations in this book too.
This is more of a reference book, so I don't think I fully utilized it in its brief time out on loan.
A really useful book that I will refer back to again and again.

Recommends it for:
people interested in nutrition
I borrowed this book from my grandmother and never gave it back (with her permission, by the way). I can literally trace my interest in nutrition and natural healthcare back to this one book. (And now I'm a full-blown flexitarian!)
This may be the most looked at reference book I own. It's very nicely organized with simple references right underneath each listing. I always like to eat and read about what I'm eating in this book. It's fun and interesting.
Some interesting information. Worth checking out at the library and reading, but not worth owning in my opinion.
Good resourse book. It is an encyclopedia type book with foods, conditions, and diseases.
Interesting fact finding book on the merits of certain foods in healing or harming.
Really informative, despite the age of the edition.
