THE ANTIVIRAL DIET
Simon Taylor-Robinson
Orli Rhodes Kendler
Ross Parker
Since the most ancient human civilizations, it was clear that the best way to cure any illness is prevention. But where does prevention start? This required more time to be understood, as the science of medicine developed and humanity grasped the understanding of how our bodies work. Today we know without the shadow of a doubt that, first and foremost, prevention starts from what we eat and how we exercise our bodies, and, in theory, it's not hard to understand how to be healthy. We just have to eat fruit and go jogging, right? Well, not exactly. And looking for more detailed advice is not as simple as it seems. In the internet era, having access to every imaginable kind of information is not only easy but often taken for granted. But, in an endless amount of unfiltered ideas, it can be hard to discern which voice to listen to. It is for this reason that a gastroenterologist, a dietician, and a ballet dancer combined their collective knowledge to come up with a book that explains how the body works and what is essential in taking care of our well-being. In The Antiviral Diet, what food is healthy is thoroughly and concretely explained. What naturally antiviral foods are available are explored - this is an essential aspect of nutrition in the age of COVID-19 and to prevent diseases - and the book examines how keeping as fit as possible can help the immune system combat viral illnesses more easily.
Thanks to a professional and direct dialogue with the readers, the authors merge the theory on antiviral foods with easy, healthy, and tasty food recipes, providing a scientific and yet spontaneous and creative approach to the subject. This kind of insight with the addition of simple exercises which can be tailored for all is what makes this book a reliable and complete guide to a healthy lifestyle in this uncertain age.
