Eat to Beat Disease

The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself

By: William W Li MD

Narrated by: Peter Ganim

Eat your way to better health with this New York Times bestseller 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 readers by showing them the evidence behind over 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
·And more!

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 wellbeing and disease prevention in an exhilarating new direction.

"'We are what we eat' goes the old cliché, but it would be more accurate to say that 'we are what we extract from our food.' What if food is more than energy and more than nutrition but a form of medicine? In his ground-breaking book Eat to Beat Disease, Dr. William Li brings the discipline of clinical medical research to bear on a new analysis of the relationship between food and health. Piecing together the puzzle of the how the food we consume impacts how the human body functions and how it protects itself from disease, Dr. Li puts forward a new paradigm to explain this relationship: 'Food as Medicine.' Eat to Beat Disease heralds a revolution in thinking about how the food we eat dictates our health."—-The Edge, U2, Director, The Angiogenesis Foundation

"In a new ground-breaking study--Eat to Beat Disease--Dr. William W. Li provides the knowledge and tools to make better decisions what to eat every day. This easy-to-read book is not a diet book but help you better understand what you eat."—--The Washington Book Review

"Unlike so many books that turn people away from the foods they enjoy, Eat to Beat Disease shows us how the foods we love actually support our wellbeing and vitality. I recommend that every health seeker read this new classic, and tell their friends and family all about it."—-Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center

life-changing. Must read!

Dr Li blew my mind in this deeply researched and fascinating book. Excellent detail, compelling stories, and VERY practical advice. I started eating better right away, and still make different choices a year after reading. I've read a lot of food and health books, and this one was different. It reveals fresh insights, but ones that are rooted in science not guesswork. Dr Li is a highly regarded expert, but the book is written with compassion and humility, not finger-wagging. I feel like everyone owes it to themselves and their families to read this book and put the ideas into practice. I especially love the simple 5 x 5 model, which is something we all can do. Great work, and great book. HIGHLY recommend.

Fantastic

Easy to Listen to; lots of amazing and immediately useful information!
Thank you very much for writing this comprehensive book! I will use it every day to love a wonderful, healthy and long life!!!

Transformative and inspiring read

Great specific info along with the “why” that has already inspired me to make positive changes. The audiobook flies by and there are so many actionable tools in the book as well as in online resources. Thanks, Dr. Li, for making a difference in my family’s health!

A lot of wisdom in this book and real facts

Excellent book with scientific back up. At time complicated to understand every words but still an overall excellent reading pointing readers toward perfect health. I will definitively recommend this book to the few which are still interested in changing their diet instead of taking pills to improve their health and overall wellbeing.

I wish I had a hard copy

So much useful information! The pdf accompaniment is great, but it would be much more useful with a hard copy rather than trying to locate it on the audible app.
