The basics of living healthy in today's world

Robert Thomas doesn't sugar coat his advice, nor is he preachy. His advice, backed by peer reviewed journals and his work as an oncologist, is delivered in practical tips and simple guidelines to live by. The message in this book is in alignment with other well respected contemporary writing about immunity and longevity. It is explained in just enough detail and they key points are usefully reiterated at the end of each chapter. I got the sense that if you don't follow his basic advice, you willfully do harm to your body. There is no room for ignorance now on sugar, processed food and the carcinogenic components of our every day living. Get off the couch, eat some vegetables and get on with living well. This is a perfect book to cover all the basics of lifestyle health and I would recommend this for anyone fed up of feeling a bit off, or who are getting older and want to protect themselves against chronic disease as they age. You don't have to live like garbage.

I've read this several times now (well listened on audio book) and I would recommend it. I think it's straight forward and clear.

There are some interesting sections on why dieting does not work. Good section on exercise.

I think this could be helpful if I could concentrate and learn to like good food.

Interesting book. A bit weighty and technical at times for someone with no medical training. However it was informative and will be a good reference book for the future.
