Is your diet feeding or defeating disease? We are at a turning
point in our understanding of how to prevent and fight disease.
Rates of cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and
other common health problems are skyrocketing. However, the latest
scientific research and clinical evidence is revealing that the
power to protect ourselves against these threats and resist them
lies in a simple solution: the foods we eat everyday. In Eat to
Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to
fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how
food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five
natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you:
angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the
microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of
each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat
- and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: * Why
scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for
your body's regeneration * The role of cheese and wine in
maintaining healthy gut bacteria * Why drinking coffee lowers your
risk of dying Revealing more than 200 foods that you can
incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr
William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to
choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your
five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out - it
is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you
already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your
life.
