Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself

Very organized and thorough definition of the best foods for good health. Great description of beneficial effects. Dr. li provides great detailed information.

Great information, suggestions on how to use food as medicine. Easy read with hands on information. Thank you, Dr. Li.

This book is a must read. Written to easily implement and understand. Now I know the foods to eat to improve my health and live a long life.

Book is well written. Good read, very informative.

This is a GREAT diet book. It’s a very flexible diet approach, not restrictive at all. Dr. Li explains many nutritional concepts and how they work in our body in very easy to understand manner. The book explains clearly how metabolism works, why what we eat can contribute both to health and disease, how to optimize our immune system, ways to restore our health. He explains the biochemistry of food, their interaction and effects on our internal organs at the cellular level that is easy for lay people to understand.The book focuses on preventive measures that do not require sacrificing our food preferences. It does emphasize to eat the food we like in moderation. It approaches FOOD AS MEDICINE, and how food can promote angiogenesis which can have both positive and negative effects on our body, how regeneration via stem cells work in our body, how the microbiome in out gut defend for our health, how to protect our fragile DNA, how our immune system works, and ways we can do within our control to protect ourselves from cancer. I never understand how ‘mitochondria’ works until I read his books.It has list of foods that apply to the five concepts that impact our defense system and how food can be used to fight fat and protect from cancer: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA protection, and Immunity. It shows readers how to plan their diet, and it has recipe ideas. Dr. Li introduces the “MediterAsian diet,” and why Standard American Diet promotes diseases.I highly recommend reading both of his books: Eat To Beat Disease and Eat To Beat Your Diet.Imagine when majority of us can use food as medicine, choose food wisely, eat in moderation, we will have prevented many preventable diseases that is costing our health system mega-billions, and jacking up our health insurance irredeemably, outrageously high! Dr. Li has made it easier to eat healthy and prevent illnesses. It’s not easy to change dietary habit, but Dr. Li’s diet approach is very flexible. And, we can certainly teach children how to eat healthy and prevent diseases that are within our control, and nurture healthier future generations.

Great book with real information on eating for great health

Great Read! Filled with very helpful information that will be very useful. I learn something new each time I read a chapter of this book. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

I have been following Dr. Li and his work with anti-angiogenic foods since I went off chemo after 4 years and started looking for something for me to do proactively to rid my body of the chemicals, and to try to keep cancer in remission. I found his Ted talk and watched it repeatedly, then went in search of his list of foods that actually made tumors starve because the food killed off the wonky blood vessels. 2 days ago, I found this book for Kindle. It appears to take Dr. Li's research and expertise to the 5th level from where I've been since 2012. He now has 5 groups of types of foods which really benefit our bodies as they fight disease.I still have more to learn and understand. I wish I had an up to date Ted talk to watch. I have found reading and understanding what I read to be possible, but very difficult since the chemotherapy.The age old problem of printing important charts and food lists make the Kindle version just about useless. The last kindle book had a link to the author's website to get needed patterns that were discussed in that book.I found a link to Dr. Li's website which didn't work (to get the checklist). Hopefully that will be remedied soon.I wish all the techie people could figure out a way to do electronic material with photos, graphs, charts, lists etc. appear properly in whatever you are viewing the material--kindle, I Pad, I Mac, Dell laptop, and I guess an I-phone is too much to ask.At the very least, we should be notified when purchasing a kindle book at $14.99, that we will not be able to print needed lists, not see information organized into charts.I would have bought this book as a print copy and would recommend anyone else who wants a great resource for their health to do the same.
