Dr. Li's Book: Using Food to Fight Diseases and Improve Health

He presents science based information in understandable ways. You will love his books? Look up his videos on goodly and watch his master class. Love everything about Dr. Li’s work.

I bought this to get some good recipes, as I am aware of foods and use, but not one recipe. Only a list of good foods, some are questionable. He had a good recipe on Rachel Ray and thought it would have recipes. Except he used white rice instead of brown, for the recipe. Basic info for someone not aware of the basics of healthy food.

Scientific, evidence based material. Good coverage of facts.

I don’t know it just wasn’t quite what I thought it was when I purchased it

The book is a great resource for optimal health. It is loaded with valuable information. Because of its scientific background, I found it a little bit hard to read for a layperson. The cover is beautiful and colorful, but the pages are all text without pictures of the recipes. A visual break with some colorful recipes would have been wonderful.

Dr Li gives so many ideas of foods that you can use in place of medicine to work to heal disease. He is very good at explaining nutrition and why what is in food works to help the different parts of the body. The #1 book of all of my Medical Books! He explains it in a way that regular people can understand. I also have his Eat to Beat Your Diet.

This book was written by a would class physician who reports studies from around the world to support his conclusions. Its cost was a tiny percent of the money I could I had read it and followed its directions when it first came out. I am also recommending it to my family members and friends will find it will help them too.

There is a serious need to address this problem of disease. This is a start, i.e., what is nutritious food? It would really be fantastic if they taught this in our schools. That way, children could see and learn about what junk food, chemicals, preservatives do to our body and the probability of ensuing diseases. Thank you.

Thus, whatever he writes is on my reading list. The most recent nutritional research is fascinating and this guy is on top of it. Watch him on YouTube for more good stuff.

I realize I sound a little suspicious. I am not on the payroll; I am an elderly human, looking for answers.

Very readable, well organized, useful information. Glad I bought it.

Great info!

My friends are all reading Dr. Li’s books, including this one. I’m very happy with his advice and will continue reading this plus his cookbook.

Interesting

I bought this book new and paid full price. The book came with tears on the cover and a sticky mess on the back of the book. The reason for three stars is the book is absolutely phenomenal, but having it not new when paying full price for new was extremely disappointing.

I read this book for fulfill continuing education credits as a Dietitian. I find it funny the book refers to doctors as not having any nutrition education or training, yet mentions nothing about dietitians. Dietitians are the experts in nutrition and are always present in hospitals to make recommendations for doctors and patients. We need to lean more on the knowledge and expertise of dietitians rather than expecting our doctors to do everything alone.

Absolutely love Dr. Li and appreciate all the information and research he imparts on us!

It is so full of information on health and food and diet and my goodness lots and lots of information. I haven't read it all yet but it's full of stuff.

My mom seen this author and wanted this book, I found it and ordered it here, the shipping was super fast and the book was just as anticipated.

Dr. Li doesn’t spend anytime shaming and dieting but instead focuses on real foods that we can implement into our diets in the everyday. I took notes on things I really liked. This is a great book that is well thought out, researched and cares deeply for and about its reader.

Lots of good information backed by peer reviewed studies. Source notes in the back of the book.

Hadn’t had time to read yet, but was recommended by a trusted friend, so I believe it will be very helpful. I only wish it was in a larger print😊😊

This book is really thorough and provides so much valuable information about how you can beat disease using food. I love the way Dr. Li outlines the book. He talks about the different defense systems in our bodies, and in each section talks about the foods that help bolster and enhance our defense and disease fighting systems. Not only that, he also talks about the amount of food and the length that you should eat them in order to start seeing the positive effects on your body. This is one of the most comprehensive books on food and nutrition I've ever read. I also have the audiobook as well so I can listen to it in the car. For those who want to take your health back into your own hands, this book is a must have.

So informative ! I using Dr. Li’s suggestions and losing weight and feel better than ever.

The book has a lot of information, but never really gets to the point,, yeah yeah we know your smart ok , but get to the point .. what about a book that says .. eat this for that type problem.

Loved the way Dr. Li explains how different foods can be used to fight off different diseases and increase the health of our bodies through eating combinations of different foods. Dr. Li does an excellent job of explaining how foods can improve the quality of your health. He includes the scientific knowledge of how different foods can increase and improve overall health.
