There is much folk wisdom from ancient times on how food can enhance human health. Food is also becoming an increasingly important topic in modern medicine. Combining hundreds of research results in molecular nutrition and molecular medicine, Harvard medical expert Dr. William Lee proposed the concept of "eating to gain self-healing power" and advocated full use of the power of food to deal with the increasingly common sub-health conditions and common chronic diseases of modern people.
The human body has five inherent health defense systems: angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. Bioactive compounds in many foods can enhance these systems. This book explains in detail how these five systems work and how food can help us fight disease. Dr. Li also provides a list of healthy foods in the book and teaches his original 5×5×5 diet plan, teaching you to start with choosing your favorite foods and formulate your own healthy diet plan. You can gain valuable health benefits by eating the foods you like.

In an era where people have more and more identities, we have ushered in a new identity. You are no longer just human - you are a symbiotic functional being. This term describes an organism that functions by bringing together multiple mutually beneficial species. You are a symbiont because your body is not a single entity but a highly complex ecosystem with 39 trillion bacteria in and on your body, most of which are good. The number of these bacteria is roughly equivalent to the total number of cells in your body (about 37 trillion), but together they weigh only about 3 pounds, which is equivalent to the weight of your brain. They are surprisingly tough, able to resist stomach acid and intestinal chemicals.
It explains why medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements.

The human body has five inherent health defense systems: angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. Bioactive compounds in many foods can enhance these systems. Yes, it is a very healthy way to maintain health. And I am very concerned about what I eat, so it is good to eat healthily.
"The Self-Healing Power of Eating" tells the story of how various foods in life have an extremely important impact on our healthy life. Through hundreds of research data in nutrition and other aspects, experts from Harvard Medical School proposed the concept of "Eating to Heal Power". Through the coordination of various foods, we know that food has an indelible impact on our physical health and mood. The book advocates using the power of food to solve problems in human sub-health and other aspects.
This is my thought.
The core is to strengthen the body's five defensive systems [angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection, immunity] through food to prevent diseases.
It's all about theory and science, but not much practical practice. The explanatory text can be read by extracting the central information. If you read it carefully, it will be really confusing.
The more practical ones are probably the disease maps related to the five defense systems in Chapter 1, the foods corresponding to the five systems in Chapter 2, and the last 25 recipes.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that all grains are medicines, and the stomach controls people's emotions. What we eat every day has a very important impact on our body. As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth and disease enters from the mouth. How to eat healthily is extremely important to our health. This book tells us from the author that 5 defense systems form the key pillars of health, and each system is affected by diet. Once you know what you eat to support a certain defense system, you'll know how to use your diet to stay healthy and defeat disease.
Health is closely related to lifestyle, and eating is an important part of lifestyle. Eating healthily and consistently eating healthily is the foundation for a long and healthy life.
It also provides a healthy food list and diet plan, which is very practical. It feels like a caring doctor is chatting with you and telling you how to eat healthier. I especially like the book's explanation of the relationship between food and human health. It's very scientific and interesting. Recommended to all friends who are concerned about health!
Great, we need books like this
I have downloaded this book and made many excerpts. In fact, there are many health-preserving recipes in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is very good to combine the traditional Chinese medicine recipes with Western medicine to maintain health. The author is also very authoritative and experienced. Being able to write such a book shows his skills.
The writing is easy to understand and I really want to read it.
Learned a lot about health
I only have one feeling after reading this: Traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy are really far ahead
I've finished reading it and it's useful for reference. It's quite valuable. Thank you.
You must study hard to improve your immunity and defeat the disease! Thanks to the author! All sentient beings are free from suffering and achieve happiness!
After reading it, I have a new understanding of food! Very good! Start changing your eating habits now!
Very valuable, written in an easy-to-understand way, and many of the recommended foods are rarely seen in daily life👀
Clear and easy to understand, looks easy to operate.
Very good and worth reading
Good, good, good, good
Very good! It's a guide!
Very healthy book
Can learn a lot of knowledge
Practical and supported by data. [Praise]
What a great book, worth recommending
After listening to this, I felt deeply. I didn't know how to eat healthily before. I need to learn more for my own health.
Rich knowledge to help you live a healthy life
As a layman, I can understand it. It has increased my knowledge and can give me guidance on my diet [Like]
After listening, I took notes that I can refer to for my future diet.
It is a very necessary book to read. I hope everyone will come together to maintain health.
