'Dr DiNicolantonio takes us away from hype and hyperbole to a place
of rationality as it relates to salt. This extensively researched
text lets us finally erase the guilt all of us felt when catering
to our desire for this important mineral.' David Perlmutter, MD,
bestselling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life
Plan A leading cardiovascular research scientist upends the
low-salt myth, proving that salt may be one solution to - rather
than a cause of - the chronic disease crisis. We've all heard the
recommendation: no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy
heart. But there's one big problem with this: the majority of us
don't need to watch our salt. For most, salt protects against a
host of aliments, including internal starvation, insulin
resistance, diabetes and heart disease - not to mention, it tastes
great. Dr DiNicolantonio reveals the eye-opening story, a
never-been-told, century-spanning drama of competing egos and
interests, of how salt became unfairly demonised. (The real
culprit? Another white crystal - sugar). Sure to change the
conversation about this historically treasured substance, The Salt
Fix elegantly weaves research into a fascinating new understanding
of salt's essential role in your health and what happens when you
aren't getting enough. Dr DiNicolantonio shows how eating the right
amount of this essential mineral will help you beat sugar cravings,
achieve weight loss, improve athletic performance, increase
fertility and thrive with a healthy heart. Finally, he offers a
transformative six-step programme for re-calibrating your innate
salt thermostat so that you can simply listen to your cravings to
achieve your ideal salt intake.
Getting older doesn't have to mean experiencing more pain and
illness, becoming less mobile, or developing disease. Renowned
cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy Dr. James
DiNicolantonio partners with leading physician and bestselling
author Dr. Jason Fung to deliver The Longevity Solution, a
groundbreaking new book that unlocks the secrets of healthy aging.
Using evidence drawn from their years of medical research and
clinical practice, Dr. DiNicolantonio and Dr. Fung lay out five
simple, easy-to-follow steps you can take now for a longer, fuller,
healthier life. The Longevity Solution explains how to incorporate
time-honored wellness traditions while doing away with fads,
unnecessary supplements, and unsubstantiated wellness practices. It
investigates the dietary habits and other practices of the
healthiest, longest-lived humans on the planet, who live in regions
known as Blue Zones, as a model for what and how we should eat. It
teaches the benefits of intermittent fasting and calorie
restriction, which have been shown to slow the aging process, while
consuming proper ratios of protein and healthy fats. It also looks
at how red wine, tea, and coffee play key roles in optimizing
health and why salt is an ally, not an enemy, in the longevity
equation. In this comprehensive guide, Dr. DiNicolantonio and Dr.
Fung unveil cutting-edge science in an approachable format that is
easy to understand and can be put into practice immediately. Simple
dietary changes can help you break the cycle of carbohydrate
dependence, kick your metabolism into high gear, and jump-start
your longevity genes. The Longevity Solution puts healthy aging
back in your control!
