There are so many books out there on the broad category of health. Health often cannot be defined let alone… be discussed regarding parts of it.
So which books help us understand what health is…and what good health is? Well that is up to you. You thought I was going to give you the magic answer didn’t you? (lol)
Nope.
This thread is about your favorite books on health, good health (any aspect of it to learn from the ground up. Feel free to share links, thoughts and feelings in here. Though main function of this thread is to supply anything that assists on what is out there book-reviews from you &/or others.
I think the most important thing to remember is not to make any book your nutrition and dieting bible. Take your time to learn, but take it seriously is my view(:

Foods That Harm Foods That Heal
- Amazon.com Review
In a blizzard of conflicting nutritional claims and information, here is a book that gets down to basics, debunks many myths, and gives the reader a useful and comprehensive look at food, nutrition, and health. Based on sound science and the research of more than 300 nutritional experts worldwide, it is well organized and indexed, and will be a refreshingly clear reference for anyone who wants to know about nutrition and health (know anyone who doesn’t?). One of the best books I’ve seen on the subject. - From Booklist~
Alphabetical listings in this clearly written resource span general categories of illnesses, food groups, additives, and normal life passages, such as aging. Other entries refer to specific medical conditions or individual dietary elements—from acne and alcohol to zucchini and zwieback. Each medical entry recommends helpful foods, followed by those that should be avoided. The format allows easy access to information, with entries offering straightforward advice, explanations, and answers to pertinent questions. Case studies illustrate examples of positive changes in eating habits or lifestyle that can lead to improved health. Alice Joyce
