I often pass on books to friends or relatives but this one I am keeping and advising everyone else to get their own copy.

His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments, has impacted more than 50 million people worldwide, and covers more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, and CNBC and has been featured in USA Today, TIME, The Atlantic, and O Magazine. Dr. Li is President and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation. The book presents our body as a high-tech fortress with five defense systems, which is mind-blowing when you think about it. Who knew we were all walking around with an internal 'Mission Impossible' team on standby? And the best part? You get to play the role of the quirky tech genius who fuels this team with the right foods. Angiogenesis is the process our bodies use to grow and maintain blood vessels. In ordinary circumstances, blood vessels are supporters of life, delivering oxygen and vital nutrients to all of our organs. But when abnormal blood vessels grow, they can nourish microscopic cancers. A healthy angiogenesis system regulates when and where blood vessels should grow and can prevent tumors from recruiting a private blood supply for the oxygen they need to expand. When the body loses this ability to control blood vessels, a wide range of diseases can occur, including cancer. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat – and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: Anyone who wants their health to glow should read this book! Dr. Li shows us smart, easy lifestyle choices that anyone can make to heal their metabolism and elevate their health - without ever having to go on a strict diet. Cindy Crawford

It should be no surprise that the modern western diet, high in fast food, processed foods, sugary drinks, red meat, and saturated fats is incredibly unhealthy. Mediterranean or eastern diets high in fish, legumes, nuts, olive oil, fruits, and vegetables produces significantly better health outcomes for the populations that eat them. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr. William Li covers findings from studies around the world that show how certain types of foods produce benefits to one of your body’s five major health defense systems and how they can help your body combat a host of diseases. When Dr. Li speaks, I don't just listen, I eat what he says because with his huge brain and ever-curious mind he has helped me understand that food isn't just something to fuel our days - it might just be fundamental to how many days we get to enjoy. Bono Write it in general concepts people understand and Simple Charts of Food the can be used in Ingredients. 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. This book is a wonderful minestrone - a science-led mash up of fascinating facts with smart guidance on where food and fat should be going in the future (who thought fat could be so interesting ?) with a light sprinkling of food history, tasty menus and the immortal Bruce Lee. A perfect feast for someone who wants to lose a few pounds and get a lot healthier. Like me in fact. Peter Gabriel

Recently started Chemo for TNBC breast cancer stage II. Hindsight being 20/20 wish I had read this a couple years ago to beef up defensive body position. A great compilation of food pharmacology. Making decision on one chemical component of a food is stupid. Eliminating coffee and tea because they contain caffeine, or wine and beer because they contain alcohol. Seems like Defensive eating can reduce the rate of recurrence. Would be interested in approximate dose (number of cloves) of aged garlic per day. Guessing 1-2 cloves per day. Target rich content for a food scientist. Eat to Beat Disease" doesn't make you fear food; it makes you celebrate it. It's your VIP pass to the body's inner workings, revealing how you can eat your way to health and happiness.Yet, without a blood supply, most of these cancers will never become dangerous. Dr. Judah Folkman, who was the pioneer of the angiogenesis field, once called this: Dr. Li also describes how many fermented food help to increase the diversity of your gut microbiome. He argues that the guiding principles for keeping your gut microbiome healthy are: 1) dietary fiber from whole food, 2) less animal protein, 3) fresh whole foods, less processed foods. But I don't quite understand this; if less animal protein is good for you gut, then why eat any animal protein at all? In fact, he argues that seafood and Pacific oysters are helpful for triggering epigenetic changes that help repair damaged DNA. Well, you may be surprised to learn that we are all forming these microscopic cancers in our body all the time. Autopsy studies from people who died in car accidents have shown that about 40 percent of women between the ages of 40 and 50 actually have microscopic cancers in their breasts. About 50 percent of men in their 50s and 60s have microscopic prostate cancers, and virtually 100 percent of us, by the time we reach our 70s, will have microscopic cancers growing in our thyroid.

The good thing is that it was written so that I could understand it. There have been books on nutrition and it’s effects on disease and the body that we’re good but difficult to get through. I didn’t have that problem with this book. The author did a good job explaining things without forcing me to look up every other word. Considering the fact the first portion of this book will have you feeling like you are in school, I was very happy to see this.organismul detine cinci sisteme de aparare: angiogeneza, regenerarea, microbiomul, protectia ADN-ului si imunitatea.

The first part of the book covers the five major health defense systems, how they function, and what happens when their internal balance is thrown off. I really enjoyed this section. The mind-boggling complexity and functionality of the human body (at the cellular and microscopic/DNA level) never ceases to blow me away and the author does a good job explain how it all works. The second part of the book covers the various foods that benefit one or more of these five systems. This part was good, but does tend to get a bit repetitive as a result of the way the book was structured. The final portion of the book lays out a roadmap for how to incorporate more of these foods into your own eating patterns complete with health questionnaires and example meal plans. I understand why this last section was included (few people probably change their eating habits after reading a book, so they need their hand held in how to do it, but I just didn’t get much out of the last third of the book and could have skipped it entirely. 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 .
