Staying active

At the age of 91‚ former nurse Alice Reynolds has written 'The beginners book of cooking for arthritis'.

Alice says: 'I was devastated when I was diagnosed with arthritis two years ago...walking sticks‚ wheel chairs‚ medication and injections all came to mind.'

She discovered the condition can be helped by diet and‚ over time‚ developed simple‚ easy-to follow recipes. They have worked so well for her that she decided to put them together in a book to share with fellow sufferers.

Alice stresses: 'This diet is not a cure. I am relieved that it has worked for me‚ but it may not work the same for everybody... In the long-term I'm convinced you will see an improvement in your mobility'.

Based on a diet of fish‚ rice‚ and vegetables this  64 page booklet contains easy and inexpensive recipes‚ including:

• A number of soups - Potato & Leek‚ Borscht... 
• Chicken dishes - Sweet & Sour‚ Chasseur...
• Fish recipes - Haddock‚ Salmon‚ Mackerel...
• Cakes and Puddings - dairy free 
• Miscellaneous - Paella‚ dumplings...
