Inhaltsangabe

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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire (at Station House on Laisterdyke railway station) and have a younger brother, called Glenn. After marrying, I moved to Baildon, Shipley, and had my three sons Mark, James and Matthew. I took nine happy years off work with my little ones, after which I found employment as a Revenue Officer at the Accounts Office in Shipley. Unfortunately, in 1991, I became very ill with fibromyalgia and spent most of my time either in bed or attempting to research the condition. After joining my local fibromyalgia support group, I started writing the monthly newsletter. It dawned on me then that my articles could be put into a book, so I began the arduous but very enjoyable task of writing 'Living with Fibromyalgia', which took four long years. I have written 17 further books and greatly enjoyed being so productive. In 2007, however, I decided that I needed to move to a warmer climate to help my condition. My boys were grown up by then and living their own lives, so my husband and I moved to Tenerife where I began walking along the prom every day - very pleasant indeed. I write articles for the Canarian Weekly newspaper, and am the agony aunt for that same publication. I also write for FaMily, the UKfibromyalgia.com monthly newsletter. My latest book is 'Natural Treatments for Arthritis', which is due out in March 2011.
I enjoy writing greatly, and thank all the people who have read my books.
