This is an interesting and informative book about inflammation and using plant foods to help combat its effects. The recipes are easy to understand and use ingredients that are not hard to find. I'll definitely be trying many of the recipes in this book!

Simple and to the point explanation of inflammation in the body - why and how - and tips to implement some dietary changes to help "... eliminate most or all symptoms of disease and, in some cases, even reverse the condition." Lots of recipes to get you started too.
