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

Exciting information of effect of food and other other elements on your DNA and the progression of diseases and measures to reverse progression

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.

Life-saving!

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

Very informative on the ability of food to make you healthy

Using food to help the body fight infection and diseases. this book includes a practical approach to use food to help the body to stay healthy.

Changed my life!

I love this book! The narrator is very easy to listen to and the content was very easy to understand. However.....a lot of the book uses medical terminology. If you don't worry about the names of all the enzymes, etc....and just listen to the "gist" of what the author is saying, you will come away with a new look on life. All those complicated words that were impossible to pronounce really didn't matter. It's a lifestyle that is so easy to adapt to! My husband and I are both diabetic and needed to change what we were doing. We have tried diets and they last just a few days until we decide we want something that isn't on the approved list to eat. "Eating to Beat Disease" is totally different! We started by adding in one food of each of the five categories we needed to eat to start to heal our bodies. All we did was replace them with food we were already eating. For example...instead of wheat toast in the morning, we ate pumpernickel; instead of peanut butter that was filled with sugar, we ate natural almond butter. It was so simple to do. At first, we continued to eat normally, except for a few substitutions. Then it became a challenge to see how many we could replace and before we knew it....we were loosing weight and feeling better. In a 3 month period, we significantly dropped our a1c (a measure for diabetic control) and several pounds and inches. We still go out to eat, and if we want a hamburger, we eat it. But the most important part is we just make sure we each from each of the categories every day.

I did end up buying the physical book also. More of a reference. I don't have time to sit and read and listened to the audio book at work, while driving and walking. If I didn't have the audio book, I would have never gained this valuable information..but the hard copy makes a great reference too. The audio book did come with downloadable/printable files that helped also. I go back and listen to the audio book just to remind myself how easy it is to make this lift altering changes!

Forks over scalpel

Incredible-a MUST Read

This well-written book was not only easy to listen to, but is also one of the most comprehensive, well organized, and well researched sources of health information I have ever had in my life. I am from the medical profession and have read plenty of books relating to health. I will definitely listen to this book a second time. This book has given me the inspiration to do intermittent fasting and to eat in healthier ways. Thank you. Dr. Li.

Wow!

Excellent! Every doctor should read this! As a doctor I want to implement this into my practice.

This is my favorite health related book thus farthus far
