Choosing particular foods and avoiding others can help your body fight your symptoms, and Minna Rose's Cooking for Health series of cookbooks are designed to help you in your quest for better health.

Oxalates are organic acids, found in most vegetables and fruits, and which hinder the absorption of calcium. A low-oxalate diet may therefore help people who suffer from osteoporosis and calcium kidney stones to manage their condition. Oxalates may also be a contributing factor in the pain of fibromyalgia, and again a low-oxalate diet may help.

Having suffered from fibromyalgia for many years, Minna Rose has created this 'recipe book for pain', refusing to compromise on flavor and creating delicious meals using only foods low in oxalates.
