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

Eat to Beat Disease presents the science of how food supports the body's ability to heal itself from cancer, dementia, and other avoidable diseases. Dr. William Li examines evidence behind over 200 health-boosting foods and explains how to use them strategically to transform health and resilience. Rather than focusing on foods to avoid, the book guides readers toward healing foods that activate the body's defense systems: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA Protection, and Immunity. These systems help fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune conditions, and other debilitating illnesses. Specific foods discussed include plums, cinnamon, jasmine tea, red wine and beer, black beans, San Marzano tomatoes, and olive oil. The book combines scientific explanation with practical strategies for integrating these foods into existing diets and health plans. It addresses both the science of healing and prevention, and provides actionable approaches to disease prevention through food choices.
