In this book (winner of the 2003 Books for Better Life award),
doctors Mark Hyman and Mark Liponis of Canyon Ranch offer a
powerful prescription for good health built on the science of
staying healthy: ultraprevention. Presenting a crucial alternative
to modern medicine's specialized, "fix-the-broken-parts" approach
to fighting illness, ultraprevention is an integrated and holistic
medical approach focused on maintaining good health and preventing
disease. First, the authors explode common medical myths ("eggs
cause heart disease," "disease is genetic") and uncover the real
truths about diet, exercise, and illness prevention. Next, they
identify the five forces that are the root causes of bad health and
reveal how to control them: sludge (malnutrition), burnout
(impaired metabolism), heat (inflammation), waste (impaired
detoxification), and rust (oxidative stress). Best of all, their
six-week ultraprevention plan helps readers put the program to work
right away to begin achieving and retaining optimal health
immediately.
