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

Eat to Beat Disease by Dr. William W. Li is a groundbreaking look into how the foods we eat can actively help our bodies fight illness and promote long-term health. Drawing on cutting-edge research in cellular biology and nutritional science, Dr. Li introduces a new way of thinking about food—not just as fuel, but as medicine. He breaks down five key defense systems of the body—angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity—and reveals how everyday foods like berries, green tea, garlic, and dark chocolate can activate these systems to combat disease. This book isn’t about restrictive diets or fads; it’s about empowering readers with knowledge to make smarter food choices that can help prevent and even reverse conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and aging-related decline. With science-backed insights, practical tips, and delicious food examples, Eat to Beat Disease offers an inspiring path toward healing, longevity, and living vibrantly through the simple act of eating well.
