Not much that I can say other than, read this book, all of you. The first 40 or so pages, I was questioning my ability to understand the biology/physiology that was being spelled out, but I persisted and it was worth it. I was able to follow it all after I focused and I learned A LOT.
Basically most of our health issues stem or are made worse by our mitochondria not being happy, due to over-eating, toxins from the environment, not enough exercise, etc. Most of these diseases that result from unhappy mitochondria are completely preventable. So it is our own fault we are so sick. We just don't realize that what we are doing/eating/not doing, is slowly and sometimes not so slowly, killing us.
I can't do justice to this book in a simple review. I'm not happy with the author saying exercise is the most important thing, cuz I'm lazy and want to sit and read, not actually, you know, DO things, but he's correct and I can't argue with it.
Also, my FAVORITE thing with non-fiction books happens in this one. SCADS of resources, divided by chapter and sections within the chapters, pages and PAGES, all in ITTY BITTY font, so you KNOW it's packed full of TBR and actual facts.
Again, I can't speak highly enough of this book. I am going to buy copies for friends and family, because they need to read this book too. Everyone does. 5, you really need to get this book and read it right now, stars.
My thanks to NetGalley and Chelsea Green Publishing for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.
