I find it fascinating what food does to our body, especially as we age. The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods is a perfect book to help guide us in our better health journey. Thank you!

I have been on a lookout for diets and nutrition which can help me with my Sinus inflammation and nasal polyps. I have recently realized , through trials and rejections , is that I am highly sensitive to foods which cause inflammations , especially dairy, gluten , added colors and flavors.
This book is a very good introduction to anti-inflammatory foods. I had researched a little about the topic before I got to this book, and I think the information in the book , although very relevant ,is not novel or groundbreaking. What is more interesting is that for each of the 50 foods under discussion, the author covers the basics of what it is, how it fits into your diet, and examples of how to eat it. It discussed if the food can have possible other reactions in the body so a suggestion to consult physician is provided , whenever needed. All this information put as a guide for foods is really helpful. The most fascinating part of the book for me were the amazing and superb photography, absolutely stunning. The only thing which did not work for me , is that some of these foods are not even available around me. Also , some amount of dairy and gluten were ok as per the recipes but in my particular case , these have been unacceptable. Both the points have nothing against the book but it is about what I needed from the book, for my particular situation.

The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods by Lizzie Streit is great informative guide about the healing or hurting properties of food. The layout is well done, the colors are vibrant, and the pictures are enticing. There are helpful tips and hints, and nutritional information for each item. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand how our bodies react to all types of whole food.

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****

This book has a lot of information that is very helpful I like the way it breaks it down with pictures and graphs to reference it later as well. The book also breaks down each vegetable with information and cooking suggestions. However, i would have loved to have seen more recipes ideas in this book as well.

A much needed read in today's world of fast meals, stress, and comfort eating. A comprehensive look at how to beat systemic inflammation in the body through the foods we eat.

Thank you to the Quarto Publishing Group – Chartwell Books and NetGalley for the advanced electronic copy of this great book. This book is a wonderful and very useful guide that clearly explains anti-inflammatory diet and foods. I liked the red yellow and green chart that showcased the difference between the anti-inflammatory, neutral, and inflammation causing foods. The book provides detailed information on 50 foods that are anti-inflammatory and how they can be incorporated into the diet. The last section is a collection of anti-inflammatory recipes to try. I’ve been using many of the foods mentioned in this book and am looking forward to trying the recipes.

This book was fine. It had good information about what foods are anti inflammatory, some generic suggestions on how to consume them. But in the world of blogging, google, Pinterest, and Instagram was it really necessary? It had no ground breaking information, only a handful of actual recipes (which is what I read it for) that were not terribly creative.

Thanks for the ARC but I think I’ll be consuming my information regarding this from blogs

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

Excellent read and very informative.

The Complete Guide To Anti-Inflamatory Foods, will educate and aide you to make good choices for you, your body and your health.

As someone who has an autoimmune disease, I found this book extremely helpful. The descriptions were detailed and the information in the book helped me to identify foods which will ease my disease. Highly recommend.

Seems to be a great book so far. I need to download it to my big iPad because it’s really not easy to follow in the format that it dowloaded on my app. Can’t wait to finish and learn more about inflammation and foods. .

I really enjoyed this book! It's a well written guide with a ton of information. The only thing I wished was that it had a few more recipes. But still, a really great educational book.

This book is exactly what the title says.
It explains what is inflammation, answers frequently asked questions and explains/shows how to eat more if these 50 foods. There is an easy to follow recipe collection.
In my opinion this book is aimed at someone who doesn't have much knowledge about these type of foods.
Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for this advance read.

Very interesting book. Good to know what could be harming you. Thank you for my copy. I will be sure to heed the advice given.

The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods by Lizzie Streit is a great reference book for all kinds of foods. The book is colour coded and well laid out making it easy to follow and read.

This is an awesome book with a wealth of information within its pages. It’s a great reference book. Thank you to the author.

The Complete Guide to Anti-Inflammatory Foods: To Boost Your Health and Immune System is an excellent reference book for everyone. The information is clear and helpful colour charts are used to help you see at glance which foods are most useful and which can cause inflammation. The book details 50 0f the best anti-inflammatory foods, providing nutritional information and how to use and store it. It is a great book for anyone with an interest in diet and health and will definitely get you thinking about what you eat, as well as avoiding inflammation.

really liked the book, it made me understand a lot of how I can help myself with my IBD and what things I should moderate in my food, what I need to eat more and the things I need to change to better my diet needs.

I would have loved more recipes at the end, but with all this info I think I can do a little recipe searching with this marvelous anti inflammatory foods.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review this book. I am a long-time health advocate, and also a home cook. I thought the book was well laid out and had nice pictures to help illustrate the point. In general, the book is very simple and could be useful for a person who is a beginner on a path to understanding healthy eating. The material is basic, and I felt it could easily be found with a google search. The recipes are also very basic, and if someone is more advanced on the path for healthy eating there is nothing outstanding to say Wow, I learned something new.

This is a really useful reference book. The first few pages give a really straightforward introduction, and I particularly liked the red, amber, green charts which detail which foods are anti-inflammatory, which foods are neutral and which can cause inflammation.
The book then goes on to give lots of details about the top 50 anti-inflammatory foods. Some of these I knew about already, but there were other more obscure ones like wheat grass. It was good to see dark chocolate on the list! For each of the 50 foods, there was bite sized information about how to choose the food, what to do with it in the kitchen, nutrition facts, why it needs to be included in your diet and how to eat more of it. I learnt some interesting things, for example, I didn't realise that mushroom powder existed, and that I could add it to other dishes. I'll certainly be trying to add these foods to my diet as much as possible, and I'll be looking up the suggestions of how to do that, especially the foods that I don't eat at the moment.
There were about 8 recipes at the end, and I'll be trying a couple of them. However, the suggestions on each food page give you lots of other ideas too.
