Product Information

I feel cheated and am disappointed since I was looking forward to this book. I had discovered Dr. Li on YouTube and liked his dedication to scientific research and his desire to share his knowledge. When your microbiome is disrupted, your physical and mental health can fall apart. A growing body of evidence shows that dysbiosis, the state in which your microbiome is damaged, is associated with an array of diseases including obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, irritable bowel syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and even autism. Your gut’s bacterial makeup can even influence the success of cancer therapy. Whether or not your microbiome is healthy can be a matter of life and death. 14 An enlarged edition of Thomas Sowell's brilliant examination of the origins of economic disparities Eat to Beat Your Diet is a pioneering book that provides an innovative and simple approach toward beating disease and increasing longevity. Dr. William Li shows us how to control your body fat by taking charge of your metabolism. His introduction of the “MediterAsian” way to eating supports the compelling scientific case that food is medicine. What makes EAT TO BEAT YOUR DIET an exciting read is the way the author takes you on a virtual grocery shopping journey to find the best foods. It is clear that Dr. Li walks the talk.” Now more than ever it’s important to maintain a strong immune system. One easy way to do this is by adding a boost of vitamin C to your daily routine.

Thanksgiving is upon us and while this has been a very challenging year for most of us, we still have a lot to be thankful for. In particular, there have been recent promising results from multiple potential COVID-19 vaccinations, which have left many people feeling a... read more 7 Surprising Health Benefits of Guava Sanjay Gupta, MD, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Emory University; Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN Your DNA is a defense system that protects your genetic code against the damage that can be wreaked by everyday exposures, including ultraviolet radiation from the sun; radon from the ground; microplastics in your drinking water; and chemicals released by wall paint, carpets, and furniture. These environmental forces create highly reactive atoms known as free radicals. These atoms behave like rogue samurai warriors slashing at your DNA. Left unrepaired, the damaged DNA can create mutations that lead to abnormal cells and, ultimately, to cancer. With this book, Dr. Li does all the heavy lifting - weeding through the confusion about food - providing us with the tools to manage how and what we consume metabolically, and in so doing provides us with the promise of a healthy mind and body. Bradley Cooper Part 2 takes readers on a virtual shopping trip, guiding them through different sections of the grocery store to discover metabolism-boosting ingredients. Dr. Li highlights the foods with strong scientific evidence for fighting body fat and shares his preferred selection for a delicious MediterAsian diet – a combination of Mediterranean and Asian diets.

almost 4 ☆ What you can eat can lower inflammation, boost immune defense, and shrink fat tissue, leading to weight loss. The fiery heat of chili pepper is due to its bioactives, capsaicin and capsinoids. Contrary to popular belief, the burning sensation does not come from the seeds. Instead, the spicy bioactives are mostly concentrated in the pithy white membrane called the “placenta” that holds the seeds. Recall from Chapter 4 that capsaicin and capsinoids wear multiple hats when it comes to your metabolism: they activate brown fat and trigger thermogenesis, burn down white fat, improve your blood sugars, and curb your appetite.” People with a high body mass have a faster erosion of those crucial telomeres. Children and adolescents who are overweight have shorter telomeres compared to their counterparts who are lean. 24 In adults and the elderly, the impact is even more profound. The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study led by the University of California San Francisco examined 2,721 people in their seventies and measured their body composition and telomere length. 25 Subjects with a lower percentage of body fat and less belly fat had longer telomeres. The good news is that certain foods have been discovered to slow telomere shrinkage. Many of these foods are common in Mediterranean-and-Asian-style eating patterns, and they can also fight body fat, helping your DNA take care of itself—and you. The Immune System

Seventy percent of your immune system is in your intestines, where it communicates with your gut microbiome. Part of your immune system is also embedded in your fat. Like the rest of your body’s defenses, your immune system is strongly influenced by the foods you eat. 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 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 as little as 21 days.

Without this health defense, you would not be here to read this book. You can dial up (or dial down) the strength of the repair mechanisms with the foods you eat. Foods like kiwifruit, carrots, beans, strawberries, and omega-3-rich seafood can boost DNA repair.

Offers practical tips and a comprehensive list of foods that can positively impact metabolism and promote weight loss. Your fat contains special stem cells called preadipocytes. These cells are essential for health. Preadipocytes create hormone-releasing fat cells—adipocytes—that help your metabolism process blood sugar and blood lipids. The hormones also influence your reproductive system, which in turn communicates with your fat. 9 Your preadipocytes also produce the protective fat padding that safeguards your organs as you jostle through life. Another type of stem cell that lives in your fat is called the adipose stromal cell (ASC). These special cells live in the lacework of connective tissue that is embedded within a mound of fat. ASCs have a talent: they are master builders of blood vessels, the ones needed for healthy fat tissue to thrive. When they are overly active, however, ASCs can create an undesirable blood supply that nourishes and expands the fat around your waistline, under your chin, or anywhere in your body. 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. This was full of useful information that was easy to understand and implement into to our everyday living. It has a lot of informative information to take in, so I suggest reading it slowly and taking lots of notes along the way.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. I could access the guide and recipes but not the video. The two sections I tried to access did not open but showed completed anyway.

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 Dr. Li is rare among physicians in that he’s actually more interested in keeping you healthy than chasing your disease. In this excellent new book, he marshals in the best, up-to-date science in an engaging way. If you want to know what to eat and why, it’s all here!” - DAN BUETTNERHere’s how we can, not why we can’t”. I was first introduced to this way of thinking as a NASA engineer and astronaut. “Here’s how we can…” is the underlying approach to solving our most challenging problems both on and off our planet. In Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. William Li tells us how we all can use this approach (and the science!) to be our healthiest selves — by eating to beat our diets (and defeating all those reasons why we think we can’t)." Your DNA is a six-foot-long folded ribbon of genetic material coiled inside every single one of your 40 trillion cells (very similar to the number of bacteria in your body!). This ribbon contains your genetic code, the instructions for cells to make the proteins your body needs to stay alive. But less than 2 percent of your DNA is used to guide the creation of proteins. Most of your DNA is used to coordinate the inner workings of the two hundred different types of cells in your body to keep them functioning for health. Dr. Li is rare among physicians in that he's actually more interested in keeping you healthy than chasing your disease. In this excellent new book, he marshals in the best, up-to-date science in an engaging way. If you want to know what to eat and why, it's all here!
