This book
written by Bob Rashidi and Lukas Buehler explores how people
in the Western industrialized nations seek information from
other cultures and their traditional insights into the healing
power of nutrients. In Asia the concept of cold and warm food
is known for over 2000 years. This idea says that being sick
is the result of an imbalance of cold and warm humoral qualities
(as seen when analyzing blood) and that this imbalance can
be restored by the proper balance of cold and warm nutrients.
The book present a history of this traditional concept and
how it compares with modern nutritional advise.
Many pages
of tables give information about which foods have cold or
warm humoral quality to restore a balance promoting health
and improve physical performance. This information is supplemented
by tables of nutritional values of food items and explains
food guidelines including food guide pyramids and recommended
dietary allowances found on food lables.
