The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book, Second Edition

Jessica K. Black

Description

A new and revised edition of the bestselling program for how to eat and cook to prevent inflammation and its consequences from Dr. Jessica Black, an expert in naturopathic medicine.
From the first edition:
The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices over stimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body’s wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

Foreword
ONE S INDIVIDUAL CHOICE OF FOODS for themselves and their families has a great deal of effect on day-to-day health, as well as on prevention of chronic health problems. This is well recognized and documented in today s scientific world.
Many years ago, in my work with patients, it became evident to me that most people ate foods that were not good for them on a daily basis. When they made dietary changes and no longer ate food allergens or foods to which they were sensitive, they invariably began to feel better. Through years of experience and with the help of nutritional science, I was able to devise diets that helped most patients. From this evolved the anti-inflammatory diet recommendations.
When people need to change their diets, the most common question is always, Well, then, what do I eat? Fifteen years ago it was almost impossible to find acceptable substitutes for many of the common food allergens or foods that have been shown to cause chronic inflammation. Recipe books contained many of the foods that I was recommending people avoid, so they were forced to try to make substitutions on their own and then hope the recipe would be edible.
Dr. Black took it upon herself to come up with delicious recipes that require no (or few) substitutions. Just follow the recipe and, voil , a masterpiece. The tried and proven dishes you are about to discover will delight any discriminating palate. Jessica s work at preparing and testing the recipes on friends and relatives has resulted in a must-have cookbook. As a bonus, her recipes include nutritional information about the content of fats/oils, protein, and carbohydrates, as well as other vital nutrients.
More than just a cookbook, this text is a guide to help you learn how to cook healthfully and to appreciate the tastes of healthy eating. This book will simplify your work in the kitchen. Jessica has recipes for everything from breakfast items to appetizers, side dishes, salads, soups, main courses, and desserts. All these tasty recipes meet the criteria of low-allergen, anti-inflammatory food choices. Changing one s diet, preparing healthy meals, and enjoying nutritious foods were never so easy.
Over time you will want to try all the recipes offered in this book. You will have your favorites, but as your palate expands, so will your level of health and wellness. Jessica shows that healthy eating need not be time-consuming. Quick and efficient-yet nutritionally sound-meal preparation can now be a reality for everyone. You can prepare these meals after a long workday and be extremely satisfied.
Dr. Black has done an incredible job of creating a book that will enhance your eating pleasure. Give yourself and your family the greatest pleasure you can at mealtime by eating healthy foods and following the recipes outlined in this book.
Happy eating.

Preface
I TRULY LOVED PREPARING THE FOOD for this cookbook. Because I love cooking and love keeping myself and my family healthy, writing this book became a necessity so others could get the same satisfaction from cooking that I do. My husband and I are strong proponents of living healthy lifestyles, and we strive to impart our philosophy to as many people as we can. We figure if we can educate others, they in turn can educate the next group of people, and through the wonders of small talk we can create a collectively healthier population. Now the Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book has reached one hundred thousand plus homes and continues to be a great source for people wanting to change their diet habits to improve their health. In 2006, I published More Anti-Inflammation Diet Tips and Recipes , a second book on the anti-inflammatory diet offering more recipes and additional health tips and information.
Have you ever noticed that when you are in a good mood and feeling fine, the people around you seem to catch on to that en
