Positive Cooking : Cooking for People Living With HIV

The authors of Positive Cooking - two Registered Dietitians and a professional writer - begin in Part One by explaining the connection between nutrition and the immune system, and how HIV affects the body's nutritional state. They recommend guidelines for creating an individual nutrition regimen as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Basic nutrition, preventing malnutrition, tips for caregivers, a food guide, and vitamin and mineral recommendations are among the important topics covered. The authors then provide suggestions to ease a variety of symptoms, detailed meal plans, and guidelines for ensuring food and water safety.
In Part Two, they present dozens of deliciously healthful recipes tailored to the needs of people living with HIV. Each section - from breakfasts to main meals to desserts - contains an easy-reference chart that allows you to identify recipes designed to help ease specific symptoms.
