[.ca] The Hot Flash Cookbook: Deliciouis Recipes for Health ... (ISBN 0811815404)

From Amazon.com:
As children we ate our vegetables grudgingly if mom or dad had the muscle to make us. Now bowing to the gospel of nutritional studies, many folks have been encouraged to seek out foods that would make any self-respecting child swoon. Chief among these for older women are soy products, wild yam, and flaxseed, which contain plant estrogens that can help stave off certain well-known menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. The Hot Flash Cookbook delivers appealing, flavorful, low-fat recipes packed with nutrients that help keep bodies of all ages healthy, such as antioxidants and fiber to fight several types of cancer and calcium for strong bones. Unlike Estrogen, The Natural Way, though, the book doesn't tell you how much of each dish must be eaten daily to deliver a medicinal punch. Fortunately, recipes like Orange-Fennel Refresco, Beans and Bitter Greens, Sea Bass Miso, and Calico Chicken with Ginger go beyond the hot flash patrol and into the larger realm of healthful, enjoyable eating. --Francesca Coltrera
