About the Book
Healthy Foods is Dr. George Pamplona-Roger’s reference on the healing and protective properties of everyday foods. It examines nearly a hundred foods known for their nutritional value, explaining what each contains, what it does in the body, and which conditions it helps prevent or improve.
What’s inside Healthy Foods
The organisation is by food rather than by nutrient, which is how people actually shop and cook. Each entry gives composition, properties, the conditions it is relevant to, and how to prepare it to keep the benefit.
It is one of the core Safeliz health references — the one most often bought first, because it answers the everyday question of what to eat and why.
- Nutritional composition of nearly one hundred foods
- Health benefits linked to specific foods
- How food contributes to preventing disease
- Preparation methods that preserve nutritional value
- Illustrated throughout in full colour
- Reference format for quick lookup

For any household wanting one authoritative nutrition reference. It is the Safeliz title most often bought first, and it is the foundation the recipe books build on.
