Product Description
With special attention to the most common forms of arthritis--osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout--The Arthritis Healthy Exchanges Cookbook offers sound advice and recipes that will help anyone suffering from arthritis to get the maximum benefits from a nutritional program. Because there is no one diet prescription that is right for every person with arthritis, the most important aspect of the Healthy Exchanges approach is to achieve a well-balanced diet that encourages variety and moderation. The Healthy Exchanges program recognizes that certain kinds of foods (and food allergies in some people) may heighten symptoms and that the inclusion of appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals in the diet will promote overall health, so all the recipes are designed with these factors in mind. From tasty appetizers to hearty main dishes to delicious desserts, this collection carries all the hallmarks of JoAnna Lund's recipes that her fans have come to expect: quick and easy to prepare using easy-to-find ingredients, guaranteed to be low in fat, calories and cholesterol and high in taste. Along with recommendations for regular exercise and other reasonable lifestyle changes, the Healthy Exchanges program can help anyone take an active and positive role in their own well-being.
