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: Write it in general concepts people understand and Simple Charts of Food the can be used in Ingredients.

I received an Advance Reading Copy of Eat to Beat Disease by William W. Li, MD from the publisher (Grand Central Life and Style) in exchange for an honest review. Eat to Beat Disease is scheduled for release on March 19, 2019. Certain foods help to keep our angiogenesis system in homeostasis and contain anti-angiogenesis bio-actives: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. 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. Louis J Ignarro, PhD, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Author of NO More Heart Disease and Dr. NO 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. To that question, I would answer science: the science of how we grow cells, how our DNA (our genes) express themselves in our cells, how cells mutate and form clusters, and how those microscopic clusters progress into detectable cancer. When we understand how cells grow, and how different foods can either inhibit or activate the development of cancer cells, then the importance that nutrition plays in keeping us healthy starts to make a lot more sense.

Needs a condensed version aimed at someone with an IQ of 90-100. Like a Cook (Not that all Cooks are Dull !) 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. 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. Dr Li has written yet another phenomenal book that will become a critical resource for millions of people. Everybody needs to read this book and learn how food can protect and support our health whilst also improving metabolism, without having to succumb to restrictive dietary practices. Dr Li expertly discusses how food can be flavourful, enticing, delicious and healing through the lens of rigorous modern science and traditional culinary practices. It is a masterpiece of writing. Dr. Rupy Aujla, MBBS, BSc, MRCGP; Founder of 'The Doctor's Kitchen' Angiogenesis; the process that forms blood vessels. It is a balancing act, as you need blood vessels to grow, especially in damaged areas. But too much blood vessel growth can contribute to cancer.Revealing more than 200 foods that you can incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out – it is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your life. Read more Details I also struggled a bit with Dr. Li’s overall plan. There are over 200 foods discussed in this book. While Dr. Li does make a suggestion to make the list more manageable (choose five foods each day), the lengths of the list and the openness of the plan make this a very general “eat more plants and less processed foods” diet. Again, while the research is sound, this is not a ground-breaking or even remotely unique dietary suggestion. Dr. Li explains clearly, in language the layman can understand, what we have always intuitively known: food is the best medicine. Eat to Beat Your Diet shows us the How and Why. James Taylor Dr William Li, excellent book. Now go and talk to Cooks in Commercial / Hospital Kitchens that prepare food for hundreds of people 3 times a day. These people are no fools - Listen - Spend a Shift in the Kitchen - Dumb Your Brain Down for a little bit. Challenge some high school students to think about a simple way to communicate the ideas. There will be a solution. The microbiota, how certain foods can improve your body’s ability to regulate sugarWhat stem cells are and the different types of foods that can help promote regenerationThe difference between pro and anti-angiogenesis and why both are helpful and harmful depending on the circumstance and how food can positively help with both.The benefits of food for the immune system supportThe utility of combining epidemiology, lab studies and human trials to determine which foods we should consume.The future of food prescriptions and how medicine could look in 10-15 years timeThe impact of food to positively impact the efficacy of medicine in the field of cancer, cardiology and neurology.

Your Microbes, stems cells, immune system , angiogenesis, your genes and how nutrition and lifestyle can positively influence them. As a food as medicine pioneer who started these conversations way before I even thought of The Doctor’s Kitchen, Dr Li has been a true inspiration of mine.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: 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. This is a nonfiction, health and wellness book. Dr. Li presents wellness as the sum of five parts: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA Protection, and Immunity. He discusses these five factors of wellness, focusing on the role diet plays in each. 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. Angiogenesis is the process of blood vessel formation (for example during pregnancy, healing wounds, or just supplying blood to new tissue when you get fat). Everybody has microscopic tumors as a result of mistakes during millions of cell divisions. Most of these tumors don’t invade organs and the body’s natural angiogenesis disrupters starve them of blood. Sometimes however they overwhelm the body’s defenses and when new blood vessels feed them they grow exponentially and they metastasize by spreading to other organs through your blood. Conditions effected by excessive angiogenesis: macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s, various cancers, diabetes, endometriosis, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis. Conditions effected by insufficient angiogenesis: alopecia, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, neuropathy, ulcers.

I did appreciate the level of research that went into this book. Dr. Li cites hundreds of scientific papers and studies as he moves through the foods he has chosen to discuss in each chapter. There is little doubt that these foods are foods that contribute to wellness. However, Dr. Li at some points presents evidence that he then dismisses or downplays, as he has a clear bias against anti-inflammatory diets. Dr. Li seems to suggest that since some of the foods that are eliminated by anti-inflammatory diets have shown benefits for one or more of the five health factors, they must be good for you. This goes against Dr. Li’s point that nutrition should be very individualized- what works well for one person may not work as well for another.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. angiogeneza este procesul prin care se formeaza vasele de sange; corpul este traversat de 96 000 km de vase sangvine, iar rosiile, ceaiul verde,soia, cafeaua, brana veche pot influenta sistemul de aparare al angiogenezei
