Publisher description
This intriguing and practical book offers 600 pages of snippets of advice and information from dozens of physicians and other experts about ways you can prevent more than 130 illnesses, using mostly commonsense approaches and nutrition. Topics covered are varied, including all the usual (colds, cancer, heart disease) plus more-personal conditions, such as anal itching (avoid spicy foods, coffee, and scratchy toilet paper), bad breath (brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth as well as your teeth, drink plenty of water, and minimize high-protein foods and coffee), diarrhea (avoid sorbitol, milk, and honey, and give refrigerated foods the "sniff test"), and heartburn (eat seaweed and avoid drinks that combine alcohol and citrus, whole milk, or tomato). There are also a few recipes: A-Plus Stew (with vitamin A for adult acne), Vitality Pasta (high in iron for anemia), Pearly White Salsa (spicy for cavity prevention), Stomach- Soothing Salad (with sea vegetables for heartburn), and Fiber-Power Muffins (with wheat bran for preventing colon cancer). The book is fun to read, practical, and full of tidbits guaranteed to elicit a reaction of "Oh, I didn't know that!" You'll want to keep it handy and reach for it often. --Joan Price
