My first question was, "Do we really need another book on how to eat healthy?" The answer is: We do if it is like this one. If you have seen programs like Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It or Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, you already know how our food supply affects our health. Consider that health conditions such as allergies, skin disorders, asthma, heart disease, arthritis and all other conditions ending in "itis" are on the rise. The normal response is to go to the doctor and get a prescription. That only treats the symptom and may cause more problems than they solve. Im in favor of any solution that avoids drugs.
In Meals that Heal, registered holistic nutritionist Julie Daniluk shows how many of these health challenges are linked to inflammation including coronary disease, obesity, dementia, Alzheimers, infections, allergies, and "virtually all autoimmune diseases." If the doctors diagnosis ends in itis, then by definition, inflammation is involved to change our immune response through diet.
Ms. Daniluk explains how food becomes the building blocks of your body so you can provide powerful healing or create inflammation depending on your choices. People may have food sensitivities that make their inflammatory condition worse. People are not the same, though, so there is only the process of elimination that will help determine which food is causing the sensitivity.
Pain. Its something that so many of us live with. We try to tolerate it. But sometimes "favoring" the painful body part puts the body even further out of alignment, leading to further pain. Or we pop pills -- knowing these arent healing the underlying problem, which may in fact be getting worse. And the pills themselves may be hurting our organs. So, what are we supposed to do about the pain that ails us?
Daniluk proposes a solution: change your diet. How is diet connected to pain? Well, first theres the connection between inflammation and pain. So much pain is due to inflammation. Yes, inflammation hurts. She breaks the causes of inflammation into the following causes: Toxicity, infection, allergy, nutritional imbalance, injury, and emotional trauma or stress.
The wrong food can cause or exacerbate most of the above problems. And because emotions/stress and food are so connected (ever heard of emotional eating?), psychological issues can lead to bad eating, and vice versa. Which leads to more inflammation. Which leads to more pain.
Daniluk shows the way out of this agonizing cycle. That means cutting out certain foods. What are the culprits? Bad fats. That means avoiding unhealthy animal and vegetable fats, including most fatty meat, cream cheese and fatty cheese, and margarine and most salad dressings. It also means avoiding most vegetable oils. Plus, we should avoid frying food. Steaming, baking, and boiling are preferred.
The recipes she offers are reasonable. They wont require scavenger-hunting through specialty stores. They dont use a ton of ingredients and dont take forever to cook. And they are reasonably tasty.
The catch? No pain means giving up inflammation causing foods. Sound tough? It can be.
