Food & Drink Alternative Health Nutrition Holistic Wellness Health Reference Diet & Weight Loss
Laugh With Health: Your Complete Guide to Health, Diet, Nutrition & Food is the 2007 illustrated paperback that has become a cult favorite among alternative-health seekers, home cooks, and anyone who wants one friendly kitchen reference that replaces a shelf of diet manuals. Author Manfred Urs Koch distills decades of holistic research into 223 pages of quick-scan charts, nutrient tables, and playful “food as medicine” tips that make healthy eating feel doable rather than dreary. Because every page is designed for instant look-up—whether you need the iron content of pumpkin seeds or an anti-bloat juice blend—busy young adults and health-conscious parents keep it on the counter instead of the bookshelf.
What sets this copy apart is its immaculate, smoke-free provenance: crisp, unmarked pages and tight binding mean the color food illustrations still pop like new, so you can spot the difference between alkaline and acid-forming foods at a glance. No ex-libris stamps, no previous-owner ink, no dog-eared corners—just a very-good-condition guide ready to slip into a tote bag or gift-wrap for a wellness-minded friend. Collectors prize the 2007 edition because later reprints dropped several of the hand-drawn cartoons and the handy “Laughing Lens” mini-glossary.
Open to any page and you’ll see why readers call it the “health bible with a sense of humor.” Koch pairs hard science (glycemic load, essential fatty-acid ratios) with light-hearted asides—imagine learning about liver detox while giggling at a cartoon duck sipping beet juice. Whether you’re transitioning to plant-based meals, managing sugar cravings, or teaching kids why zucchini counts as brain food, Laugh With Health delivers authoritative answers without preachiness. In a market flooded with fad-diet hardbacks that cost triple the price, this affordable, information-dense classic remains one of the most trusted, giftable wellness titles you can still find in like-new condition.
