In 'Eat to Beat Disease,' Dr. William Li presents a groundbreaking approach to health by highlighting the role of over 200 health-boosting foods in activating the body's natural defense systems. The book explains how these foods can support the body's five health defense systems: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA Protection, and Immunity. It provides strategies for using food to transform health and prevent diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases. Unlike traditional diet books, 'Eat to Beat Disease' focuses on adding healing foods to your meals rather than avoiding certain foods, making it a practical and life-changing guide to better health.
In today's Q&A session, I'll cover a wide range of topics, from the intricacies of caffeine consumption to the importance of sleep and nutrition in your daily life.
First, you'll get to explore the world of caffeine and discover how this widely consumed substance affects your body, from its potential cognitive benefits to its impact on cardiovascular health. I'll also discuss the optimal dosage for performance enhancement and explore the differences in caffeine metabolism between men and women.
Next, you'll discover the fascinating connection between sleep and the changing seasons. Recent studies suggest that humans may require more sleep during the dark, cold winter months, even in urban environments. I'll reveal the findings of a German study that found seasonal variations in REM sleep and deep sleep among city dwellers.
You'll get to uncover the role of fructose in your diet (and how it relates to cancer prevention) and find out my top fruit choices for fighting cancer, with a special emphasis on berries and their powerful antioxidant properties. I'll also touch on the controversial topic of high fructose corn syrup and how it differs from natural sources of fructose.
Plus, you'll get to explore the recent ban on ZYN nicotine pouches and how one of my podcast guests, Ben Katz, may have been affected by this recent ban.
You'll also learn about jetlag and how to combat its effects using light, temperature, protein-rich meals, and physical movement. I'll also discuss natural alternatives to the popular weight loss drug Ozempic and how they can help with hunger suppression.
