The Acid Watcher Diet
Jonathan Aviv, MD, FACS
This is
the perfect book for those who suffer from acid reflux. It is also
great for those who have silent symptoms of acid reflux, such as
coughing, post nasal drip, sore throat, hoarseness or the feeling of
a lump in the throat. This book will give you the knowledge to
recognized the problem and the tools to start a 28 day diet plan that
gets you on the right path to healing body and getting rid of acid
reflux.
It is
not only well written but, easy to follow. The diet is aimed to
reduce your intake of caffeine found in coffee, tea and chocolate,
alcohol, tobacco, citrus fruits and carbonated sodas. It also
encourages the reduction of processed foods in the diet. I personally
found it more helpful to look at what I could eat, rather than what I
should avoid. I also found it more difficult to give up coffee,
tomatoes and citrus fruits than I had anticipated. If, like me, you
find that you just can't dispense with all your favorite foods at
once, you can try, as I have, to lessen you intake of these and
anything that might be your “trigger foods”.
The
book also contains other useful tips like not eating three hours
before going to bed and getting a good nights sleep as well as what
types of exercise are good for eliminating acid reflux. All in all
this book provides a good plan that isn't too difficult to follow and
there are lots of recipes included which aim to make it easier to
prepare the right food for healing.
Thanks
to Blogging for Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange
for an honest review.
