Description

Two physicians draw on their personal and professional experiences and present an in-depth evaluation of the impact inflammation has on chronic disease, along with a revolutionary approach for restoring balance. Drs. Aggarwal and Rao help you to take a personal, honest assessment of your energy, lifestyle, dietary habits, and mental state. They then provide a series of interventions that will enable you to reclaim your health. In-depth explanations of the dangers of stress, how microbiomes affect digestive health, and how common dietary changes can make a difference, bring a broader understanding of how our bodies work and what they need to be healthy. Specific plant-based foods are identified that reduce harmful inflammation and nurture healthy digestive organisms. Further guidance is provided on quality sleep-especially in today's digital age, adequate hydration, mind-body techniques to recharge and activate our bodies, the role of exercise, and intermittent-fasting. Each chapter includes recommendations and action steps. How you treat your body will bring out the best from your mind. This book is a prescription to combat stress and illness and achieve a healthy balance of physical and emotional well-being.
