Description

Organic gourmet vegetarian cook Natasha Corrett and leading nutritional therapist Vicki Edgson combine their expertise in this fully illustrated guide to eating a balanced alkaline diet that keeps the body in mind. They clearly explain the principles and benefits of this kind of eating, identifying both alkalizing and acid-forming foods, and offering the modern cook a host of flavorful, easy-to-prepare recipes recommended for different times of the day and different stages of life. The first section deals with the basics: the principles of healthy eating; the sources of and role played by vitamins, carbohydrates, and protein; the identification of alkalizing and acid-forming foods; and the ways in which an alkaline diet can nourish the body without placing the digestive system under strain. Readers will learn how to boost their immune systems, increase energy levels, maintain blood sugar levels, and focus the mind through healthy eating. The second section features 100 mouthwatering recipes, from the first smoothie of the morning through delicious salads and mains to the last healthy snack of the day. Each recipe illustrates just how easy it is to prepare delicious and nutritious food that will make you feel great. Includes dual measures.
