Resumen del Editor

Eat your way to better health with this New York Times best seller on food's ability to help the body heal itself from cancer, dementia, and dozens of other avoidable diseases. Forget everything you think you know about your body and food, and discover the new science of how the body heals itself. Learn how to identify the strategies and dosages for using food to transform your resilience and health in Eat to Beat Disease.

We have radically underestimated our body's power to transform and restore our health. Pioneering physician scientist Dr. William Li empowers listeners by showing them the evidence behind more than 200 health-boosting foods that can starve cancer, reduce your risk of dementia, and beat dozens of avoidable diseases. Eat to Beat Disease isn't about what foods to avoid, but rather is a life-changing guide to the hundreds of healing foods to add to your meals that support the body's defense systems, including:

• Plums
• Cinnamon
• Jasmine tea
• Red wine and beer
• Black beans
• San Marzano tomatoes
• Olive oil
• Pacific oysters
• Cheeses like Jarlsberg, Camembert and cheddar
• Sourdough bread

The book's plan shows you how to integrate the foods you already love into any diet or health plan to activate your body's health defense systems - angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity - to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating conditions.

Both informative and practical, Eat to Beat Disease explains the science of healing and prevention, the strategies for using food to actively transform health, and points the science of well-being and disease prevention in an exhilarating new direction.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

I do not necessarily suffer from an illness but the amount of things I learned are so valuable AND fascinating. I have listened to this audiobook repeatedly (mostly before I go to bed) and his voice makes it SO easy to keep listening (the voice makes a huge difference with audiobooks it can make or break on). He reads calmly and clearly for anyone to understand and follow along. I highly suggest this for anyone wanting to learn the science of what we eat and how it impacts us.

Very exciting information on effect of diet on diseases and information to reverse progression of disease or reverse

I Learned a Lot!

There is a lot of medical information and I learned a lot. I will probably listen again when I can take some notes about particular foods, their benefits and the diseases they can help prevent.

Great information here. An ounce of prevention every day to stack the odds in your favor every morning, and every bite!

Great book

This book gives evidence
Not Some half wit doc selling another diet book
Strongly recommend

one of best books on food as medicine

Dr Li covers the 5 pillars of health, which I had never heard presented the way he ties it all together. He cites the science behind every claim and has a broad and balanced perspective on food and how it can heal the body and keep it healthy. He doesn't demonize entire food groups, with the exception of processed meats (it's well established that they are known carginogens, and most refined carbohydrates.) He obviously loves food and presents information that explains what food enhances our health and how to incorporate it into our diet. He fully supports the idea that food should give us pleasure, while maximizing our health. He doesn't insist on any restrictive, rigid eating practices, but gives guidelines for designing our own healing menus. I just love this book and have read it at least three times.

Must Read for Nutrition and Health

This is the best recent book that I have read on how diet effects health. Scientific explanations that are easy to understand. Practical advice about how to eat better without severe restrictions. Pleasant perspectives shared about living life. Do yourself a favor and start the New Year with this
Book.

Life saving information

I love that Dr. Li is an active advocate of Western medicine but also incorporates positive food choices for our optimal health. Excellent and informative source!
