Amazing book
Food is often overlooked but it is a very important aspect of our lives. Using it as medicine to help cure and prevent diseases had been used for a long time by humanity. The difference this book makes is that it brings the science to prove it.

A very flexible approach to dieting
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.

A ‘Must Have’ book.
Brilliant doctor and a brilliant book… Maybe even a life-saving book.

Packed full of great info, covers everything I expected and way more! Very happy with this book!

I’m a health freak. Listen to so many podcasts, read so many health books. I stumbled upon Dr William Li in one of the podcasts I listened to, and decided to read this book. It is such an eye opener. There is still so much to learn about food – health interactions. But this book is an amazing start. I’ve been a keto person for the last 10 years. But after reading this, I’m back to eating low carb fruits, and more veg. I’m now on 8 veg a day, 3 fruits, loads of nuts, seeds, and all the other food groups Dr Li recommends. So is the the rest of my family (I’m the only one who cooks 😀). I’m sure, in the next 10- 20 years there will be more research done about our food intake and health implications. But for now, this book is my gospel. I would advise everyone to read it and implement it. 5☆ from me.

A pragmatical book with a very intetesting beginning to undetstand our body’s defense systems and concluding with a practical framework to organize your week’s groceries shopping. Thank you Dr. Li for putting all together”!
