Updates in this second edition include:

• phytochemicals and antioxidants
  
• foods that boost immunity
  
• how to choose the most nutritious foods
  
• "standout" healing foods
  
• how to design a diet for your individual optimal health, taking into account special dietary needs such as those of women, children, vegetarians, and others
  
• food combining
  
• diet-based healing techniques such as juicing, fasting, and detoxifying
  
• how to avoid potential dietary dangers, including threats to water safety, foodborne diseases, food additives, food irradiation, antibiotics, genetically engineered foods, and undesirable substances such as caffeine, cholesterol, and sugar

While not a cookbook, Prescription for Dietary Wellness also includes a number of easy, wholesome recipes and advice on cooking methods. It is a complete, practical guide to eating for good health.
