Foods That Fight Pain: Revolutionary New Strategies for Maximum Pain Relief by Neal D. Barnard and Jennifer Raymond (1999, Paperback)

Synopsis
Working from the common knowledge that diet and exercise can reduce weight and increase endurance, Barnard's book offers a variety of diet strategies for conditions ranging from metabolic disorders to poor circulation and even cancer pains. As certain elements like coffee and alcohol can help some problems and exacerbate others, the book addresses both the helpful and harmful properties of common food products, as well as how they affect respiratory, glandular, and immune systems. There are also several chapters of various healthy menus, specifically utilizing those foods that actively soothe pain. Easily understood through accessible language and clear diagrams, FOODS THAT FIGHT PAIN looks at diet in a whole new way, where some foods can increase pain (meat, eggs, bananas) and others are "pain-safe" (brown rice, spinach, cooked cranberries). Barnard offers alternatives to traditional ideas about how pain operates, which should make this book a true boon to chronic sufferers.
