About Comer para sanar / Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself

El doctor William Li, médico pionero y orador de TED –cuyas conferencias tienen más de 4 millones de visualizaciones–, revela que la antiangiogénesis, o la prevención del crecimiento de vasos sanguíneos que alimentan tumores malignos, es el secreto para protegernos de las amenazas contra nuestra salud.

El primer paso: elegir alimentos que bloqueen el suministro de nutrientes de las células cancerosas y vencer así a la enfermedad en su propio juego.

La guía que transformará la manera en que usamos los alimentos para prevenir, tratar y revertir enfermedades mediante la activación de los sistemas naturales de defensa del cuerpo.

Estamos en un punto de inflexión en nuestra comprensión de cómo prevenir y combatir las enfermedades. Las tasas de cáncer, enfermedades cardiacas, accidentes cerebrovasculares, diabetes, obesidad y otros problemas de salud comunes se están disparando. Sin embargo, las últimas investigaciones científicas y evidencia clínica revelan que el poder de protegernos contra estas amenazas y resistirlas reside en una solución simple: los alimentos que comemos todos los días.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Is your diet feeding or defeating disease?

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 the 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
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, and 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.
