Yellow Kite Beat Arthritis Naturally: Supercharge your health with 100 recipes and lifestyle tips from Arthritis

Excellent book. It’s the perfect reference book. I can’t imagine what life would have been like if it had been available when I was first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

No new info, basic things your doctor tells you.

I have M.E. and Rheumatoid Arthritis and have long been aware that a healthier diet might help inflammatory conditions and I used to drink green tea by the bucket load which had benefits, but I became complacent with my food choices and ate everything. After a recent major flare up with swelling, stiffness and lots of pain, out of desperation I was looking for guidance and I bought this book on Kindle just to see if it was any good but it is SO good I bought it twice!! The print version is so useful to have to hand to refer to and flick through over and over again. There is so much great information that you want/need to know, without having to wade through a lot of stuff. Although detailed, it is straight to the point, accessible and written in such a nice down to earth way, it's a pleasure to read. I have really appreciated all of the detailed info. which has clearly been so thoroughly researched by Emily. Making dietary/lifestyle changes can sometimes feel daunting but this book is great for making the first small steps, suggesting easy alternative foods to what you might usually eat, so you can start right off with making changes and then gradually become more savvy about the ingredients best to avoid in favour of more beneficial choices, even with shop bought items. I am looking at the ingredients labels on everything now! There are lots of lovely recipes, but I feel that you can take as much from this book as you want to, or are ready to, at your own pace. If you feel ill and in pain, cooking from scratch is not always possible and you need something easy and quick to prepare, but this book has been invaluable to me for guidance and ideas about different foods/ingredients to try. I am actually enjoying my food more as I am trying new flavours and have opened my mind to new things that I didn't even know about. There are also tips about various therapies, supplements or means of pain management that may come in useful. I can feel physical improvements after about 5 or 6 weeks so I am definitely going to continue with my dietary changes . I would recommend this book to anyone really - whether you have a health condition or not - as it's so informative about the effects various foods/ingredients can have on the body, so it would be a good read for anyone. Thank you Emily!

This book is so well written with easy to follow recipes, and interesting information about living well with arthritis. What stands out to me in comparison to other arthritis lifestyle books is that you can tell this is written for people with arthritis by someone with arthritis and is therefore practical and not condescending. I really highly recommend it. Some of my favourite recipes are: 'Bright Blueberry Muffins' pg145, 'BBQ Sticky Rice' pg128, 'Ginger Kick' pg156, and 'Courgette and Carrot Fritters' pg106. I have made all of these multiple times and they are delicious and have gone down well with friends and family members who have tried them.

This book has been the single best resource I’ve laid my hands on since my diagnosis. Emily @arthritisfoodie has taken contributions from many experts, leading doctors and researchers, but presents the information in a way that is really easy to understand and makes complete sense 🙏 If you suffer from any kind of inflammatory arthritis (or even osteoarthritis), I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Don’t suffer with arthritis, live with it. You might just find, like me, that following the advice in this book has a positive on other elements of your health too. Thank you Emily, I can’t wait for your next book!
