A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This classic best-seller sheds light on how modern life can turn so many smart, savvy people into the unwitting saboteurs of their own well-being. Using stunning original research, comprehensive clinical studies, and their success with thousands of patients, the authors constructed a new paradigm for the psychology of health that offers fresh hope for anyone stuck in a self-destructive rut. Inspired by stunning original research, comprehensive clinical studies, and their successes with thousands of patients, the authors integrate principals of evolutionary biology with trailblazing, proactive strategies for wellness. The authors explain why individuals often sabotage their efforts to live a healthier lifestyle, show how to distinguish between health-supporting and health-destructive behaviors, and offer solutions for the challenges of keeping on a healthful course. The authors discuss the modern Western diet and its negative impact on our health and demonstrate that a whole, natural plant-foods diet is a powerful medical tool.
