Staying Healthy with Nutrition

Nutrition Health & Wellness Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Diet Therapy Natural Medicine Cooking for Health Medical Reference

Staying Healthy with Nutrition, Elson M. Haas’s 1,200-page classic from Celestial Arts, is the single most comprehensive reference on food-based wellness ever printed in one volume. First released in 1992 and still unmatched in depth, this oversized paperback integrates the latest findings of nutritional science with time-honored natural-medicine protocols, giving readers a practical roadmap for preventing illness, boosting energy, and reversing chronic problems through diet alone. From micronutrient breakdowns of every vitamin and mineral to step-by-step therapeutic eating plans for allergies, heart disease, and immune support, the book functions simultaneously as a textbook, clinical manual, and everyday cookbook for both young adults discovering self-care and seasoned adults optimizing long-term health.

What makes this copy especially appealing is its clean, tight binding and minimal use—only twelve pages carry gentle highlighting, leaving the vast majority of the 1,200-page resource unmarked and ready for your own notes. At nearly two kilos and almost 250 mm tall, it’s built to lie flat on a kitchen counter or desk while you blend the 200+ detox recipes, shopping lists, and seasonal menus inside. The personalized ownership mark adds character without the institutional feel of an ex-library copy, making this a shelf-worthy showpiece for the health-conscious home.

Collectors and practitioners prize the 1992 first edition because it contains the original nutrient tables and food-combining charts that were later condensed in reprints. Whether you’re a nutrition student, holistic-health professional, or simply someone who wants one authoritative source to answer every diet question, this gently-used first printing delivers lasting value at a fraction of the cost of new functional-medicine manuals.
