Acerca de esta escucha
Being healthy is easier, less expensive, and a whole lot more enjoyable than you think.
Much of the health advice we receive today tells us that in order to be healthy, we must consume a Spartan diet, exercise with the intensity of an Olympic athlete, and take a drug for every ailment. We constantly worry about the foods we should or shouldn't be eating and the medical tests we have neglected to take. And all that worry costs us dearly - financially, emotionally, and physically.
In The Good Vices, prominent naturopathic physician Dr. Harry Ofgang and health journalist Erik Ofgang tear down decades of myth and prejudice to reveal how some of our guilty pleasures are not only okay but actually good for our health. For example:
- Like wine, moderate beer and spirit consumption raises our bodies' level of good cholesterol, which protects against heart disease.
- Egg yolks are an excellent source of important fat-soluble vitamins.
- Research suggests that moderate exercisers can be at least as healthy as, and sometimes even healthier than, those who exercise intensively.
Forget what you thought you knew about what's healthy, and enjoy some good vices instead.

Author Tatiana Keay is on a mission to expose nutrition misinformation, dispel common inaccurate beliefs, and provide evidence-based nutritional truths.

In recent years, intermittent fasting - restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days - has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

Alkaline diet is based on the theory that anything you eat can either result in your body building up acid or becoming more alkaline. For a healthy body, the alkaline and acid ratio must be balanced, measured by the level of pH in the body. The pH ranges between zero and 14. A pH level of seven is considered to be neutral. The higher the quantity of alkaline foods we put into our system, the greater the body's acidic condition neutralization.

How much of our daily caloric intake comes from ingesting substances that, technically speaking, do not meet traditional definitions of “food”? Chances are, if you’re eating something that came wrapped in plastic and contains a funky ingredient you don’t have in your kitchen, it's most likely—almost definitely—ultra-processed food, or UPF.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“The Good Vices emphasizes that having fun and indulging in some of life’s simple pleasures can be consistent with a healthier lifestyle. We always knew that eating ice cream was a lot of fun and are happy to hear it can be a part of healthy living. So enjoy a little ice cream, read this book, and be healthy." (Jerry Greenfield, cofounder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream)
"With good humor, the Ofgangs offer insights and scientific evidence against a culture of deprivation, mortification, and unbridled consumerist fads. They restore la dolce vita to a place of prominence - and along the way, show how well-being and genuine care of the self require the right kind of indulgences." (Stephen Olbrys Gencarella, PhD, folklorist and associate professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
“I have pioneered 'flexible dieting' methods for 25 years, and I love seeing a resource like The Good Vices sand the rough edges from rigid diet dogma. The Ofgangs remind us that a healthy lifestyle can be fun!” (Joe Klemczewski, PhD, coauthor of The Diet Docs' Guide to Permanent Weight Loss)
