During the course of thirty years of research, Dale Alexander unearthed groundbreaking evidence that the onset of arthritis can be directly related to a person's eating habits. 
 
He maintained that good nutrition - proper foods, consumed according to certain dietary rules - could bring relief to millions of arthritis sufferers. He was also certain that cod liver oil contains substances which help lubricate painful, swollen joints. 
 
In this revised edition of the bestselling Arthritis and Commonsense there is a re-evaluation of each chapter including recent research which both supports Dale Alexander's findings and shows how ahead of its time his work was.

If you're a woman over 30, or a man over 40, it could be happening to you! 
 
It's an all-too-common problem when you hit 30: despite your best efforts, you just can't seem to lose the extra weight around your middle. Medical research proves you're not alone - that the average person gains one to two pounds a year after the age of 30, usually around the stomach. 
 
Hormone imbalance specialist, Dr C W Randolph, explains that the real reason behind this problem has less to do with calories and carbs, and everything to do with a little-known but very real medical problem known as 'oestrogen dominance'. 
 
In From Belly Fat to Belly Flat you will learn: 
- How to self-diagnose oestrogen dominance 
- The top ten belly-blasting foods 
- The everyday culprits that impact hormone levels 
- Which vitamins and supplements support and sabotage hormone balance 
 
The result? Within four weeks you'll lose pounds and inches to reveal a flat belly.

Many people are unaware that they suffer from food allergies or intolerance. Inexplicable rashes, a persistent runny nose, bloatedness, headaches or pronounced weight gain for no apparent reason, are just some of the symptoms that may indicate a sensitivity to certain types of food. 
 
Now fully revised and updated, Solve Your Food Intolerance is a practical dietary programme devised by one of the country's leading allergy specialists. It has been highly successful in combating a wide range of health problems including: 
 
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome 
- Migraine 
- Asthma and rhinitis 
- Eczema 
- Urticaria 
 
Each food type is systematically excluded from the diet for a period of time, and then gradually reintroduced, with guidelines for monitoring the body's responses. Easy, tried and tested recipes are included which have been carefully designed with taste in mind - but excluding common trigger foods such as wheat, dairy products, yeast and coffee.

Despite negative speculation in the media regarding the future of the low-carb diet, this revolutionary dietary phenomenon continues to attract an enormous following. The lure of the rapid weight loss causes converts to radically adjust their dietary habits in order to meet the demands of the lifestyle. Yet for many, this is simply not an option. Particularly ardent critics of the diet include vegetarians who are offered no alternatives to the high meat content; and what of those of us with a sweet tooth or those who need natural fibre in their diet? 
In this groundbreaking new work, Dr Charles Clark has devised a low-carb, low GI plan that caters for all types of dietary requirement. It's vegetarian-friendly and nutritionally-balanced, allowing for previously sinful foods including pasta, pulses, fruit and puddings. What's more, he has set out to counter the criticisms of those who argue that low-carb lifestyles can be detrimental to health. A series of medical case studies proves how adopting a low-carbohydrate diet can in fact be of benefit in certain key areas of health. 
So, if you feared you could never be part of the low-carb crowd, look no further-this is the diet for becoming slim and healthy the low-carb, low GI way, without cutting out the foods you love! 
 
'We've all heard of Jen and Madonna using high protein diets to lose weight. It's a tricky one to follow safely, but with Prof Charles Clark's sensible approach-us mere mortals can do it too.'
