Lifestyle Medicine: An Incredible Journey

"This book really is an incredible journey. It has opened my eyes to the devastating increase in nearly every disease, and its impact on children is truly frightening and alarming. However, it also shows how most of these diseases really can be prevented and even reversed by relatively easy to achieve lifestyle changes." -Elizabeth Porter The number of people with life-taking and life-destroying diseases has been increasing alarmingly for decades. Half of all children also now have at least one chronic and debilitating disease even though sixty years ago these barely existed. These increases really are projected to continue unabated. Healthy life expectancy has also been falling for years and the average person now spends the final 17 years of their life with at least one serious disease that can seriously compromise and even devastate this part of life. Why is all this happening and why is almost nothing being done to prevent it? The key reasons are examined in detail and even though many of them are truly shocking and difficult to believe, they are nevertheless, all true. Despite these disturbing facts, most of these diseases really can be prevented and the key aim of the book is quite simply to show how this can be achieved and how life-expectancy itself can also be significantly increased. After 7 million years of evolution, the human body is quite simply the most incredible entity in the universe and if you look after yours by leading a healthy lifestyle and eating healthy natural foods, it will rarely let you down. A long and healthy life, free from chronic diseases really is possible for most people. "This has been a wakeup call for me. I have never seen such a wide range of facts and evidence in one book. I really will try to get its amazing messages on how to prevent most diseases to as many of my friends and relatives as I can." -David Simmons
