Is your diet feeding or defeating disease? We are at a turning point in our understanding of how to prevent and fight disease. Rates of cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and other common health problems are skyrocketing. However, the latest scientific research and clinical evidence is revealing that the power to protect ourselves against these threats and resist them lies in a simple solution: the foods we eat everyday. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat – and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: · Why scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for your body's regeneration · The role of cheese and wine in maintaining healthy gut bacteria · Why drinking coffee lowers your risk of dying Revealing more than 200 foods that you can incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out – it is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your life.

The year is 2112 and scientists are predicting that in twenty years or so an ice age will develop, that will, in all probability, be an extinction level event (ELE). Six scientists from various scientific fields come together and are able to build a spaceship that is capable of traveling faster than the speed of light. They discover that this will allow them to travel back in time. Traveling essentially the speed of light allows them to travel forward in time. Using time travel, they go back to 2012 to try to convince people to change their ways and prevent this ELE from happening. Unfortunately, the people in that time period don’t believe them and the ice age is definitely coming. The six explorers search for an earth-like planet to which they can bring a number of people. They find a suitable planet more than two million light-years from earth. Is there time to find the appropriate individuals and transport them to this new planet before ice age engulfs the entire Earth?

Years of abuse and neglect have affected my eating and drinking and what was best for me overall. It is hard to eat healthy when there is not enough money to do so. Also, when a victim is an emotional mess, it is hard to eat healthily. In reality, the abuser pretty much dictates what, when, and if you eat at all. Abusers force victims to eat foods that make a victim never want to eat that food again, and some of those foods are healthy foods. There are so many factors in why victims of abuse eat the way they do and why they have eating disorders. Eating healthily is a big deal, especially when a victim becomes malnourished due to abuse. I was anorexic for a few years because of the long-term horrific abuse. At this time I had just had my last child, down to ninety pounds and not able to gain weight no matter what I ate after I got out of the abusive situation. It took years of eating enough healthy food to get my weight back to a normal weight. And then of course, I unintentionally got back into another abusive situation. His control and abuse put me far into debt because I was not going to eat unhealthily and go back to being anorexic ever again. I was forced not to work in this final abusive marriage. I will never get into an abusive marriage again even if I had been lured into abusive marriages in my past by them over and over again. Forced not to work made it so I had to use credit cards in order to eat enough healthy food. At least I was not damaged again by anorexia. No matter how forceful or abusive my husband was then, my kids were not going to go without healthy food even if I was on a tight budget. I would go into debt all over again so they could eat healthy! I keep thinking, I will pay it off and go to work as soon as I am safe enough to get out of this abusive marriage! Finally out of that my last abusive marriage, I am slowly but surely paying off the debt. Yes, with a lot of interest charge, but I am going to be out of debt eventually. I work as much as I can even if I am physically disabled, unlike my last abusive husband; I have to work to eat healthy! I can't worry about the debt or I won't get out! I eat healthy and in time, I will become wealthy enough to be out of debt! Because healthy is wealthy! That is why I wrote this book, to give you the reader, ideas on what and how: to eat, drink, and be the best; forget the rest! I will always be on a tight budget and that is how I will get out of debt. SMART SPENDING HAPPY ENDING!
