Proper nutrition and exercise are all part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Individuals suffering from IBD in particular need to pay close attention to their diet. IBD refers to two distinct but chronic Inflammatory diseases-Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The IBD Nutrition Book by Jan K. Greenwood is a nutritional primer arming the reader with practical knowledge necessary to make wise food choices. The book is divided into two parts. Part one deals with the basics of nutrition, digestion, food groups, dietary modifications and children suffering with IBD. Part two has over 75 recipes in addition to a sample weekly menu. An approximated nutritional analysis has been given for each recipe. A glossary is included to clarify nutritional and medical terms. The library has one copy available for checkout.
