Forget everything you think you know about your body and food, and discover the new science of how the body heals itself. We always hear about those one-off studies finding things like "compounds in blueberries promote brain health" or "an antioxidant in green tea may prevent breast cancer.

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.

Angiogenesis” is the term used to describe the growth of blood vessels, and consequently “anti-angiogenesis” is the impairment of blood vessel growth. Li presents wellness as the sum of five parts: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA Protection, and Immunity. Eat To Beat Your Diet is science-based and taste-forward, a perfect combo to live a healthier and happier life.There are many of these issues which made the book problematic for me and I decided not to finish it after getting 80% done. Leafy greens, particularly those in the brassica family, contain special compounds that are anti-angiogenic, protect DNA, and boost the immune system," he says.

organismul detine cinci sisteme de aparare: angiogeneza, regenerarea, microbiomul, protectia ADN-ului si imunitatea. He argues that the guiding principles for keeping your gut microbiome healthy are: 1) dietary fiber from whole food, 2) less animal protein, 3) fresh whole foods, less processed foods.His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity.
