Further parts of the book may become repetitive and this may make the reading experience less enjoyable. Chocoholics across the globe have taken notice of the emerging health benefits of cacao. The impressive bioactive profile of cacao has nutritionists everywhere reaching for their dark chocolate bark and raw cacao powder. But is all chocolate created equal? The answer... read more Are Canned & Frozen Fruits & Veggies Nutritious? This was full of useful information that was easy to understand and implement into to our everyday living.

More than seventy diseases can occur when your angiogenesis system is weakened and there are either excessive or insufficient blood vessels. Some of the most common diseases include obesity, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and even Alzheimer’s disease. Insufficient angiogenesis leads to wounds that do not heal or an oxygen-starved heart and brain and organ failure. Excessive blood vessels, on the other hand, can leak fluid and bleed, causing organ damage. If this should happen in your eyes, leaking vessels can cause vision loss in conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Darius Mozafarrian, MD, DrPH, Jean Mayer Professor of Nutrition, Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy, Tufts University; Editor-in-Chief, Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter William W Li, MD is a renowned physician, scientist, and bestselling author known for his groundbreaking work in angiogenesis. This book is pretty easy to read once you get past the harsh truth with photos about your body. I'm definitely going to revist this book and incorporate the recommended foods into my diet. I will read his other book Eat To Beat Disease later this year. The results at one month showed that those eating the traditional Japanese diet lost 2.4 pounds, while those on the modern diet actually gained 0.2 pounds. When body composition was analyzed, these losses and gains were all in fat. The traditional diet eaters lost 7 percent body fat, while the modern eaters gained 1 percent more body fat.”Sanjay Gupta, MD, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Emory University; Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN Fat insulates you like a sweater when you are exposed to the cold, and it cushions and prevents your internal organs from rupturing if you take a fall. More surprising, science has revealed that fat itself is an actual organ. It releases hormones and chemical signals that control your brain, heart, immune system, and virtually all your body’s health systems. Fat is not to be feared but rather respected, although we do need to keep it under control. The Problem with Excess Fat Another type of epigenetic change, called methylation, is associated with lowering body mass. In methylation, the function of a gene is changed by a chemical structure, called a methyl group, which is inserted right into your DNA. The effect is like jamming a screwdriver into a conveyor belt. It halts the manufacturing of certain proteins that cause belly fat to grow and that disrupt your metabolism.

I've heard him on some podcasts talking about his new book so I was eager to read it. I liked the grocery store segment...I thought that was creative to put in his book. Overall this contains useful info for those just starting off on their journey to find better health but nothing really new if you've already been down that rabbit hole a time or two. He has pioneered over 40 FDA-approved interventions for various diseases and is a leading advocate of using food as medicine. Dr. Li’s accomplishments have been recognised worldwide, and he has collaborated with influential organisations and institutions, including the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organisation, and the Food and Drug Administration. Dr William Li's first book , Eat to Beat Disease, showed us how eating the right foods can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, while also extending our lifespan and improving our overall health. Building on this groundbreaking work, Dr Li now brings us Eat to Beat Your Diet, a revolutionary, science-based approach to weight loss. Eating more of the right foods and adopting a "MediterAsian" diet (combining the best of Mediterranean and Asian diets) can promote fat loss and improve our metabolism in just a few weeks. In his first groundbreaking book, Dr. William Li explored the world of food as medicine. By eatingfoods that you already enjoy, like tomatoes,blueberries, sourdough bread, and dark chocolateyour body activates itsfive health defense systems to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating conditions. Choosing the right foods can take your health to the next level. In my previous book, Eat to Beat Disease, I gave a comprehensive primer on your body’s health defense systems. Since then, medical research has greatly expanded our understanding of the many ways our health defenses are linked to our body fat, and vice versa. What this means is that eating to boost your health defenses can also help rein in your body fat. The harm caused by excess body fat also directly hinders the body’s health defense systems, making you more vulnerable to disease. In this first chapter, I will lay out, for the first time ever, the fascinating connections among food, fat, and your five health defenses. So let’s take a closer look at how each of these systems does its job and how they interact with your body fat. Heroes of Health: Fat and Your Five Defense Systems The Angiogenesis SystemUnlike 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 about it.” Good information, somewhat repetitive. I didn’t learn anything new but metabolism is well explained and I liked the MediterAsian concept.
