Buying an MS diet book takes some careful consideration. There are plenty to choose from, but it’s a good idea to check out the information included in each Multiple Sclerosis diet book before purchasing it. Some might be more informative than others. You might like a book that has more than recipes in it, so take a look at the selection online or at a nearby books store to see what is available.
Most online book sources have a section where book reviews are placed. Perusing this area will give you a better idea as to how others reacted to the diet book you are considering. Celebrities, such as Montel Williams, have gathered together some of their favorite recipes and tips for sticking to an MS diet to put in a book for the general public. Dr. Swank is popular among the MS community. His diet plan was devised many years ago and is still going strong. The key to his is sticking to a low-fat diet, limiting the amount of certain foods, and incorporating vitamin supplements.
Picking out a diet book from a brick and mortar book store allows you time to flip through the pages and see if it is something that will work for you, instead of relying on the opinion of others to help you make a decision. However, you are more likely to find a good deal on a used book when purchasing from an online source.
Benefits of Eating a Special Diet for MS
The low-fat aspect of most MS diets helps prevent weight gain, which reduces the possibility of heart disease, diabetes, elevated blood pressure, stressed joints, and other body ails. As a person gains weight, mobility is compromised. Combining excess weight and MS will only further decrease the amount of mobility a person has.
Eating healthy, well-balanced meals keeps the body functioning properly. When this occurs, less stress is felt and insomnia is less common. Getting plenty of rest is extremely important for a person with MS. Fatigue plays a large part in what activities a person with MS is able to carry out during the day. Lacking the proper amount of sleep will only add to this symptom. Reducing stress levels lowers the strain on the immune system and keeping the immune system happy is the best way to alleviate many MS symptoms. Following the tips and food guidelines included in an MS diet book is a great way to get started with your new diet plan. Some nutrition experts recommend buying a Multiple Sclerosis diet book and engaging in the program as soon as a diagnosis of MS is made.
