Foods That Fight Disease: A Simple Guide to Using and Understanding Phytonutrients to Protect and Enhance Your Health

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Vital information on phytochemicals--substances that help protect against a wide range of chronic conditions.

Essentially, phytochemicals are the substances found in plants that provide them with their colorful attributes. More important, research shows they play an essential role in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and other conditions that threaten our health.

Foods That Fight Disease provides a detailed examination of the best sources for beneficial phytochemicals as well as explicit descriptions of how they function to fight disease. Arranged by both medical condition and health-promoting foods, it offers readers easy accessibility to important information. Included within the text are recipes for dishes rich in necessary phytochemicals that will contribute to a healthy, enjoyable diet.

Synopsis:

Phytochemicals are nonnutrient substances found in foods that have the ability to prevent cancer, heart disease, hypertension, the symptoms of menopause, and other chronic conditions.

The author explains how these substances work with the body to prevent and fight disease, and provides lists of foods with their levels of phytonutrients.
