GREAT COOKBOOK

As promised on my Coop's Crossing fanpage on Facebook, I have an awesome cookbook to share with you.

This particular cookbook contains a wide range of healthy dishes made with foods that have plenty of healing properties. That in itself is fabulous as some cookbooks billed as "healthy" promote the use of too many products that are not counter to good health. But this book goes well beyond that.

What makes this cookbook unique is that it also shows for each recipe what the foods involved help to treat or prevent, whether it's cancer, memory problems, diabetes, high cholesterol or depression to name a few.

In addition each recipe shows the vitamins and minerals each recipe contains ranked from high to low. This is very helpful to me in that I can quickly see which recipes contribute to increasing my iron reserves to help offset anemia or low hemoglobin.

In the back of the book there is a lengthy section that alphabetically shows recipes specific to helping to treat or prevent certain conditions such a anemia, asthma, cancer, constipation, dental problems, diverticulosis, gallstones, heart disease and insomnia to name just a few.

The name of this cookbook is Meals That Heal and is written by Anne Egan and Regina Ragone, M.S., R.D.

I highly recommend this cookbook! If you are attempting to transition to healthy recipes or need to make serious changes to your eating habits this is a great way to help yourself to get it done!
