Nutritional Medicine is aimed at providing readers with all the tools they need to achieve optimum health - for the whole family. The emphasis is on a natural, holistic approach to preventing and overcoming a variety of ailments, from diabetes to arthritis, presenting long-term plans based around correct nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
Fully revised and updated in this new edition, Nutritional Medicine is based on the assumption that many illnesses, mild and chronic, are caused by nutritional imbalance and be cured or alleviated through diet. Dr Stephen Davies and Dr Alan Stewart, whose pioneering work in nutritional medicine is in line with the latest scientific, well-proven information, reveal why these imbalances occur - addiction to caffeine, tobacco and alcohol, use of the Pill and other drugs, eating over-refined foods, exposure to chemicals and pollution - and how nutritional medicine can effectively treat a wide variety of conditions.
Nutritional Medicine goes beyond the headlines and shows the truth about how what you eat can affect your health and wellbeing. Included in the new edition:
* global nutrition - what can we learn from the developing world?
* superfoods - is it all good news?
* symptoms, signs and health problems caused by nutritional deficiency
Nutritional Medicine tackles the possible causes of various health problems in daily life, such as allergies and mineral deficiencies, and explains how we can all become healthier by taking certain measures, particularly dietary, to make us more resistant to the stresses of modern life.
