The Fibromyalgia Healing Diet by Christine Craggs-Hinton

The Fibromyalgia Healing Diet by Christine Craggs-Hinton

Fibromyalgia is a painful, chronic condition which can result in symptoms such as fatigue, pain, insomnia, IBS or depression. But, our bodies are powerful self-generating organisms, and the right foods stimulate healing of the body's systems at a fundamental level. This new edition of "The Fibromyalgia Healing Diet" looks at the latest research on how to redress nutritional imbalances, including information about osteoporosis, the importance of vitamin D, and the correct balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat for people with fibromyalgia. Although this isn't a calorie-counting diet, a happy side-effect of these guidelines can also be weight loss in people who are overweight.Topics include: what it means to have fibromyalgia; why diet is important in treating fibromyalgia; essential nutrients; substances to avoid; supplements that may help; a simple detox programme; losing any excess fat - and the toxins that may go with it; and, delicious recipes.As a fibromyalgia sufferer and the author of Living with Fibromyalgia (also for Sheldon Press) Christine Craggs-Hinton says that while measures such as gentle exercise, complementary therapies and pain management techniques may improve your condition, this diet treats the cause of the disease, not just the symptoms, and will help you get your life back again.

Christine Craggs-Hinton is one of Sheldon's longest-established authors, with several books to her credit. She lives and works in Tenerife.
