Hard Back. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Dust Jacket As Issued. 5th Printing. 400 pages indexed. May 1998 Edition. Laminated glossy pictorial covers and attractive color photgraphic endpapers. Here is another example of the high quality publishing of self-help books by Reader's Digest. High quality content, incredible photography, carefully crafted layout and first line printing and papers. In preparing this book, a team of medical experts has sifted through thousands of scientific studies and reports in order to separate the hype and myths from the facts. If you follow the basic tenets of variety, modertion, and balance you'll find you can partake of almost every food without worry or guilt. You will learn how you can use foods to lower your risk of many common diseases, and what you should eat if you fall ill. You can tell at a glance the major nutrients in foods, their benefits, and drawbacks. A food described as an excellent source of a vitamin or mineral will supply most of the Recommended Dietary Allowance. Cross references guide you to related entries. A Glossary defines unfamiliar or technical terms. The message is that eating healthful foods need not be complicated or dull and it can be a pleasurable experience, made even more so by knowledge and understanding. Alphabetical listings in this clearly written resource span general categories of illnesses, food groups, additives, and normal life passages, such as aging. Other entries refer to specific medical conditions or individual dietary elements--from acne and alcohol to zucchini and zwieback. Each medical entry recommends helpful foods, followed by those that should be avoided.
