Eat to Beat Disease: The Body’s Five Defence Systems and the Foods that Could Save Your Life

Product Information

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. The first part of the book covers the five major health defense systems, how they function, and what happens when their internal balance is thrown off.

I like that the author is more about adding different foods than restricting or removing others from a diet. Overall, I found a few good pieces of information here about different foods that I didn't know before and will refer to some of it as I continue on my road to recovery.Kiwis are also Grand Slammers, and they're particularly great at protecting DNA, which can help slow cellular aging and reduce cancer risk. While, on the face of it, this is a compelling book with good ideas and information a deeper reflection suggests a serious flaw. Overall, I learned a lot and will be making a concerted effort to incorporate more of the foods below into my diet on a routine basis. 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.
