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.
Lose weight by eating more of what you love Dr William Li's first
book, Eat to Beat Disease, showed us how eating the right foods can
reduce the risk of chronic diseases, while also extending our
lifespan and improving our overall health. Building on this
groundbreaking work, Dr Li now brings us Eat to Beat Your Diet, a
revolutionary, science-based approach to weight loss. Eating more
of the right foods and adopting a "MediterAsian" diet (combining
the best of Mediterranean and Asian diets) can promote fat loss and
improve our metabolism in as little as 21 days. Rooted in new
science, Eat to Beat Your Diet offers a simple plan providing
leading research on how supplements, sleep and exercise can help us
defend the body against excess fat. With clear lists of
fat-fighting foods and recipes, including a week-long detox and
3-week weight-loss protocol, this book empowers readers to lose
10-20 pounds healthily - all while enhancing enjoyment of food.
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can be a stressful and
threatening experience, particularly for children. This book will
shed light on the impact of cancer and its treatments on the
physical, emotional, and psychosocial well-being of both children
hospitalized with cancer and childhood cancer survivors.
Additionally, this book will explore the coping strategies used by
children with cancer and their parents. This book reports some
empirical studies on evaluating the effectiveness of various
psychological interventions in promoting the psychosocial
well-being and quality of life of children with cancer. It is
anticipated that this book can provide readers a more thorough
understanding about the impact of cancer on children's physical and
psychological well-being.
