Did you know that the New Zealand green-lipped
muscle holds the key to overcoming arthritis and many other inflammatory
conditions? Or that the backbone of the arrow squid contains a substance
that can naturally reduce cholesterol levels? Marine scientist John
Croft does, and in Health from the Seas, he not only categorizes
and describes the many nutritious treasures found underwater, but
also offers scientific proof of the various ways they can promote
health and healing. Each of ten chapters first focuses on a health
condition or several related problems, from the common cold to osteoporosis
and cancer. It then discusses the medicinal treasures that can be
harvested from the sea and used to relieve that disorder.
For a long time, we've known that ocean life
can nourish us. Health from the Seas shows how the oceans
can also lead the way to greater health and vitality.
