Product Description
Product Description
Organised into chapters based on common health concerns, such as energy boosters, immunity boosters and circulation boosters, this recipe book contains plenty of salads, soups, main courses, puddings and drinks. Each recipe is accompanied by information on its nutrient content and health-giving qualities. Some of the dishes are specifically designed to heal common complaints, such as a cold or an infection. There are also six detox diets, including a juice detox and a herbal detox, an immune-boosting diet and a brain-boosting diet to help you prepare for a 'big day' - be it an interview or an exam. A round-up of natural supplements to pick you up or heal completes the book.

With my colleague Barbara Griggs, I coined the term "superfoods" back in 1990 and personally, I don't grow much in my organic garden that I can't eat, because fresh produce has the most nutrients and the best flavour. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Michael van Straten is a practitioner of complementary medicine and a practising naturopath - but he is also wise and eminently sensible. In his latest book, Michael sets out his premise. He wants us all to feel good and sets about encouraging us how to go about it, so it contains plenty for everybody whether you want to step up your immunity, boost your energy, detox after the Christmas excesses, loose a few pounds or just sleep more soundly.
Written with clearness and precision it is divided into chapters on energy, immunity and protection, cleansing, supplements and so on. Each chapter follows a similar format of an introduction that is helpful and enlightening with plenty of background information about how to help yourself in modern life, a check list of foods that you should concentrate to aid recovery followed by recipes that focus on that area. There is an A-Z of raw ingredients and what they are a source of, that actually focuses on such down to earth foods as lettuce or grapefruit and an equally helpful A-Z of vitamins and minerals with equally helpful information.
The recipes are real winners - colourful, cheery and full of flavour and, in case you are worried - much, much more than just salads. At this time of year when so many of us lack energy, you'll be relieved to find warming soups and stews as well as winter fruit punches that not only taste good but are guaranteed to perk us up at the same time.
A real winner that is satisfying to cook from that will also make you a whole lot better at the same time.
