More Anti-Inflammation Diet Tips and Recipes… Tekijä: Jessica K. Black
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.I found this book very helpful in showing how to cook in a way to promote health and prevent inflammation. I have seen much of the information before, but this was drawn together in a way that was very easy to follow and the recipes were easy to follow and prepare. My most interesting and helpful recipe was for a chia energy drink that my son has been drinking to help him while running cross country.
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.I won a copy of "More Anti-Inflammation Diet Tips and Recipes: Protect Yourself from Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, Fatigue and Pain" from the Early Reviewers' program. As I do suffer from some inflammatory issues (sinusitis, to mention one), the title intrigued me, and I was pleased to win a copy.
The author has written an easy to read and follow informative book. There are sections explaining what inflammation is, and why our bodies use and need some of it. She has charts to show which foods we should avoid and why. There is even a section of recipes that I plan to choose from as time allows (I'm not much of a cook!).
Much of what is in this book could be labeled as common sense. Also, due to previous research, I was aware of certain foods that have been shown to increase inflammation, like tomatoes and (white) potatoes. However, I did not realize the following:
1. Microwaving meals decreases nutritional aspects of the food
2. Butter is better to use than most of the oils touted as healthy
3. Most oils should not be heated due to toxic changes that occur under higher temperatures
4. Drinking apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in water before a meal can aid digestion
5. Chronic sinus conditions and acid reflux are related
6. Eat a little more protein and fat if you experience cravings for sugary processed foods
Never preachy, the author shows how to live healthier without going crazy.
I liked this book, and would recommend it.… (lisätietoja)

fuzzi | 8 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Jun 16, 2013 | Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.I enjoyed the More Anti-Inflammation Diet Tips and Recipes book by Dr. Jessica Black. It is far more than a "healthy" cookbook; it contains information on how to reduce stress, what to eat to reduce common aliments, and an overall wellness plan. Some of the recipes contain ingredients that are a little difficult to find in a rural community but many recipes contain the typical ingredients found in any kitchen. If you want your family to improve their overall health, I highly recommend this book.
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.Who hasn't experienced fatigue, pain or known someone with allergies, heart disease, arthritis or diabetes? Inflammation is often the root cause or aggravating factor in any or all of those maladies. Why not learn how to decrease inflammation through one's diet? It's simple, effective, and tastes good as well.
Jessica K. Black, N.D., has gathered together simple, quick to prepare and truly delicious recipes that just happen to reduce stress in your body and help you manage or overcome inflammation-based problems. Whether you are an omnivore or need special recipes for vegans, folks who must eat gluten-free, dairy-free, or grain free, you can find recipes in this book that will help you devise delicious meals in a snap.
The day this book arrived, thanks to Library Thing's Early Review program, I started cooking and baking recipes from this book and am grateful for Black's insights and recommendations.
Some recipes such as Blanched Beans with Salt teach you a technique to apply to other veggies that enable you to prepare them ahead of time. The Ginger Candy and Ginger Syrup recipe is easy, fun and sure to please children and adults alike in addition to being able to soothe sore throats. There is a super-nutritional version o f Rice Crispy Treats that I have yet to try but sounds as if it was custom-made for kids because it freezes well and doesn't use marshmallows but probably has the same crunchy appeal.
There is even a recipe for making your own healthy version of Jello - another kid-pleaser.
Be sure to read the Healthy Tidbits, Kitchen Tips, Substitutions and Nutritional sections following many of the recipes. In one, I found how to make my own Coconut Butter simply by grinding dry coconut in my VitaMix which can be useful when I've run out of the commercial version.
Will I make all the recipes? No, probably not, simply because some of the ingredients are difficult to find or expensive to buy or someone in the family simply refuses to eat them. That happens with all my cookbooks. However, those recipes are in the minority. Very few of us use all the recipes in any cookbook, but if you find even half a dozen to add to your rotation of tired and true recipes, then you will consider you've hit the jackpot because you will be making a healthy difference in your diet.
Besides, this book is not just about the recipes. It is divided into three parts. Part I covers what inflammation is, its consequences, how to avoid foods that trigger it, and what you can do help you cope with or overcome it. If you are suffering from pain, Black gives practical tips to help make cooking easier, faster and healthier. Part Two presents the recipes. The Appendices are important; be sure to take the time to at read all three. Appendix A discusses dietary and treatment strategies for various inflammation-based ailments. Appendix B has a short but substantial substitution chart for common foods (butter, eggs, milk, wheat flour, et cetera) with brief directions for substituting effectively. However, Appendix C may be the most important for new parents because it focuses upon how to introduce solid foods to avoid creating intestinal and allergic reactions that can last a lifetime (she gives an online version of this chart as well which can be printed off and posted in the kitchen). She also has an extensive section on printed and online resources you can search for additonal information.
I have not read her first book, but based on this sequel, I will, because Jessica K. Black has given me both the insight and understanding I need to make my family feel better in a simple, delicious way.… (lisätietoja)
