What to Eat for What Ails You
How to Treat Illness by Changing the Food and Vitamins in Your Diet
By
Winnie Yu
A comprehensive guide to health conditions, from everyday ailments to serious diseases, and the foods you should eat to help control them.

While it seems hard to believe, most doctors, in general, do not provide their patients with a natural health program after diagnosing them with a medical condition. While most illnesses can't necessarily be cured through diet and nutrition, often times you can help to control them, or improve your symptoms by identifying and avoiding specific foods, as well as lifestyle or environmental factors that trigger flare-ups or aggravate individual conditions. What to Eat for What Ails You is a comprehensive guide to health conditions ranging from everyday ailments, such as bad breath or acne, to uncommon or less known maladies like rosacea and fibromyalgia, to serious diseases such as AIDS and cancer. Each entry in What to Eat for What Ails You offers expert medical and nutritional advice from the respected medical field in which the professional works. The book is arranged alphabetically, and provides a description of the disease, instructs readers on the foods they should eat, the foods to avoid, and also offers suggestions on helpful nutritional supplements.

Winnie Yu writes health and nutrition for national magazines, such as Woman's Day, Weight Watchers, Redbook, and Fitness. She has a B.A from Syracuse University and lives in upstate New York with her husband and two daughters.

I get Seasonal Affective Disorder something awful! I didn't know what is was when I was young but now I can look back and remember being was down in winter and in spring when it would rain for days and the sun never came out. Now I live in Southern California and the sun is almost always out. I try to enjoy the overcast days, but if there are too many or I am having a hard time getting going in the morning I it is usually because the sun is not out.

A homeopath once told me that you can counteract menopausal symptoms using soya bean products which contain natural estrogen. If you don't like the taste of tofu, you can get an inexpensive source from soy lecithin tablets, readily available at any drug or health store.
