Take Control of How You Cook & What You Eat
Recent medical studies demonstate that careful attention to a healthy diet can result in significant improvement in the pain, swelling and stiffness that accompanies arthritis. Arthritis can affect nutritional status. Morning stiffness may decrease appetite in the morning. joint problems can interfere with the ability to shop, prepare and eat foods, and arthritis in the jaw can affect chewing ability. Many of the drugs used to treat arthritis may cause nausea or diarrhea and have effects on nutrient absorption, metabolism and bowel movements.

The Essential Arthritis Cookbook is easy and practical to use. It shows you: -How to make cooking more relaxing. -The Secrets for outsmarting energy-robbers. -How & what Arthritis Medications affect your diet -What habits and kitchen tools pamper & protect your joints. -What to do if you're not eating adequately. -Where to go for adaptive equipment & kitchen tools (800 numbers & addresses) -How to get a balanced meal using convenience foods. -And best of all, Over 120 Low-fat, High Nutrition Recipes that save time and energy! Each with nutrient analysis, diabetic exchanges and mini/rest breaks.

Customer Reviews

Good, Helpful, and Tasty!
I got this book, and I liked it very much. I am 14 and have JRA, OA, and Fibro. This book was very helpful, and the recipes were good. I would recommend it. I've read many books, and this is one of the better ones. I enjoyed the food much!!

I have mixed feelings about this book.
I perused this book carefully because I want information on diet and FMS. There are good definitions of FMS, but the info and recipes seem to be geared toward reducing the "inflamation" of arthritis. As I understand it, FMS is not a condition of inflamation. Thus, my confusion. For forms of inflamatory arthritis conditions it looks excellent. I'd like to note that I have seen other books that tag FMS on to Arthritis in their titles or covers and don't seem to have much specific to FMS. A selling technique, I suppose. This book is attractive and seems very good for arthritis, but not specific for FMS.
