Book Description

Vital information on phytochemicals--substances that help protect against a wide range of chronic conditions.

Essentially, phytochemicals are the substances found in plants that provide them with their colorful attributes. More important, research shows they play an essential role in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and other conditions that threaten our health.

Foods That Fight Disease provides a detailed examination of the best sources for beneficial phytochemicals as well as explicit descriptions of how they function to fight disease. Arranged by both medical condition and health-promoting foods, it offers readers easy accessibility to important information. Included within the text are recipes for dishes rich in necessary phytochemicals that will contribute to a healthy, enjoyable diet.

Foods That Fight Disease.......2001-02-05

Feed your mind to improve your health with a great new book by Registered Dietitian Laurie Deutsch Mozian. Her book, Foods That Fight Disease, conveys a positive message about taking charge of your health through the foods you eat.

Intended for both consumers and health experts, Mozian takes very technical research and makes it understandable. Because of the nature of the information, expect technical discussions and scientific terms. Luckily, most detailed explanations are followed by easy to understand analogies, like where free radicals are described as "...roving gangs of thug molecules, looking to start trouble in the cell...".

Making it easier to read and use, the book is divided into three parts. The sum of the parts yields an understanding of what phytochemicals are, what they do, where to find them and recipes for turning nutrient rich foods into meals.

The first section gives background on phytochemicals, which are naturally occurring food components that my have health-promoting potential.

The third part is dedicated to phytochemical-rich recipes. Each recipe has comments and nutrition information. Practical dishes like apple crisp and tamale pie incorporate one or two nutritional powerhouses, thereby making them more appealing to skeptical eaters.

This book falls into the small category of `excellent diet and nutrition books' available.

Foods That Fight Diesease: Simple Guide to Using and Underst.......2000-11-30

The first section gives background on phytochemicals, which are naturally occurring food components that my have health-promoting potential. From Ajoene (found in garlic and is thought to be at least as potent as aspirin in preventing blood clots) to Zingerone (which has anti-inflammatory properties), you'll find descriptions of the nutrients that the term "phytochemical" encompasses. How these nutrients work to help the body is covered, as is where to find these nutritive gems.

Part two suggests how nutrient rich foods are used in treatment and hopefully, prevention of specific diseases. Included are discussions of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and menopause (not an illness, but certainly a condition in which alleviating symptoms is desirable), just to name a few. For each, the illness is presented, followed by foods that may assist in treatment or prevention, dietary and supplement recommendations, and general supporting information.

Mozian's nutrition expertise (she has a Master's degree in nutrition and food science, and is a Registered Dietitian) is evident throughout. In this book you'll find what most health-conscience people want - discussions of basic foods to eat for better health, complete with menus, recipes, serving suggestions and calorie estimates. Of course, if you take prescription drugs or are under the care of a physician for an illness, it is important to let your health professionals know of major changes in your food consumption.

Book Description

"… well-written and the content is clearly presented. … There are plentiful figures and tables, which are effectively labeled and adequately support the content. …highly recommended for academic and special libraries. …effectively presents current research on phytochemicals in a readable manner." - E-Streams "This landmark volume shows how far the field has advanced … . This important volume is filled with reports on what the editors term as the 'new era' in the study of phytochemicals, in which we move from the 'eat more vegetable and fruit' admonition to more detailed information on the biology, molecular biology, regulatory function, and role in human health of phytochemicals. … All workers in phytochemicals should get themselves a copy of this valuable book."

Book Description

Treated in much the same way as a modern introductory course in physics, the 23 lectures in this book cover topics such as gravitation, central forces, the composition of motion, collision, simple machines, friction, motion down an inclined plane, projectile motion, hydrostatics, pneumatics, sound, and light. The emphasis is on conveying the ideas and describing the experimental evidence while keeping mathematics to a minimum by concentrating only on simple geometry and algebra. With eleven plates of illustrations, the book contains four appendices that investigate problems, including non-elastic collisions, motion through a resisting medium, and the motion of water through pipes.

To each their own..........2007-10-01

I picked this book up for free at an orchard, they have a great book give away system. I had heard of this before but never read it. It was okay, but I'm sure I'll never read it again. The story is about 3 sisters and their mom on a ranch is Mexico. The older sister marries the younger one's love, and the story takes off. The problem is, I didn't connect with any of these characters. They story would have grim reality, then fantasy in the next paragraph. I can undrestand why some people would enjoy this, but it's not my thing. I think this is one of those books that you'll love or hate. If you love this book, you'll be shaking your head and wondering what's wrong with me that I didn't like it. If you didn't care for it, you'll understand what I'm saying. Whatever, to each their own.

Delicious!.......2007-08-04

The story of Elena De la Garza, the youngest daughter of Tita, is told by Tita's granddaughter. Cultural tradition is that as the youngest daughter, Tita must remain with her mother, unmarried, to care for her until she dies.
Tita's sister Gertrudis marries Tita's love Pedro. Rosaura has love fire and goes off to the Revolution to couple with a general in the army and becomes an officer of the army herself. This book is fantasy, magic, emotion, reality of love, told in chapters headed by ancient Mexican recipes handed down for generations. Ingeniously constructed, with a beautiful voice, this book is a classic.

Wonderful book - one of my favorites!.......2007-07-20

Laura Esquival's story is about love and passion intertwined with food and family. Each chapter begins with a delicious recipe that connects to the story about Tita, the heroine of the book.

You fall in love with the characters, laugh and smile when good things happen, and cry when unfortunate events tear at their hearts. It's a page turner that fires up the imagination. It will make you hungry and want to fall in love at the same time.

This is one of my favorite books. I read it at least once a year.

Like water for chocolate .......2007-06-13

This book is a story is about a young girl that is in love with this young man. When he wants to go ask her hand in marriage Mama Elena says "No." The reason that she says no is because of a stupid tradition. That says that the youngest girl in the De la Garza family can not get married. They have to take care of there mother till she dies.

So when the young man finds out he thinks that the closes why he can get to Tita is by marring her sister. So he does. When Tita finds out she is heart broken. Not only did she just lose the man that she loved; now she had to live seeing him with her sister. What really hurt her most was that she had to make the wedding cake. When she was making some of her tears got into the ingredients and that mad the cake go bad. While her sister was eating it she felt sick and throw-up all over her white dress. Rosaura said that Tita was trying to ruin her wedding night by making her sick.

I really like the way that the author describes everything so good. Like when Tita was making dinner, how she was cutting the chilies, and the sound that the meat made when it touched the hot pan. I also liked the setting that the author had. Some thing that I would change would be the ending. But I had to read it two times to get it. But this is a really good book so you should read it if you like soap-opera romance,and fairy- tale.

magical mystical ride..........2007-05-30

Like Water for Chocolate is a wonderful, magical even mystical ride. A lyrical tale of food, love, romance and heartbreak. Highly recommended.
Laura Esquivel writes a beautiful story that will stay with you for years.
