Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself by William W. LiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was written to give you the knowledge and tools to make better decisions about what to eat every day. This is not a diet book. Instead, it provides scientific evidence and recommendations on foods to incorporate to help prevent or battle disease and support health.
This book has three parts. Part I, Hardwired for Health: Our Body’s Natural Defense Systems, covers the five systems: angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. Your body uses these systems to fight disease and heal itself.
Part II, Eat to Beat Disease: The Evidence for Food as Medicine, explores how to feed your body to regenerate your health and activate your immune command center. You will learn which foods activate these defense systems, including supporting research and proven results.
The final Part III, Plan, Choose, and Act: Putting Food to Work, covers practical ways to incorporate these foods into your life, including the 5 x 5 x 5 framework, rethinking your kitchen, meal plans, and recipes.
The book offers an accessible overview of emerging nutrition science and reinforces the value of food as a cornerstone of preventive health. It is recommended for all eaters.
This book is a wealth of science-backed information, which can be overwhelming at times.
