About this listen
For over 3,000 years, practitioners of Chinese medicine have known that food is health-giving. Now, path-breaking nutritionist Linda Prout synthesizes the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the science of Western nutrition.
With a clear focus to help listeners achieve balance, Prout introduces the concept of balance and describes the signs and symptoms of various patterns of imbalance from a TCM perspective. She provides simple self-assessments listeners can use to determine their own tendencies toward imbalance and recommends foods, cooking methods, and lifestyle changes to balance each pattern.
Fats, proteins, carbohydrates and sugars are each discussed from a Western nutrition and Eastern perspective, with beneficial and potentially unhealthful choices given for each body pattern.

Immune System Diet and Recovery Plan: The Updated and Personalized Plan to Boost Your Immune Defenses, Prevent Diseases, Heal Your Body with Anti Inflammatory Diet, Restoring Overall Health and Gain Energy

Story
There are a number of vitamins, minerals, plant components, and herbs that are beneficial to the immune system. Finding specific foods that boost the immune system can be complicated, because certain vitamins work best when taken with other vitamins. For instance, vitamin C, probably the most commonly recommended vitamin for infection resistance, works best when taken with calcium and magnesium. Calcium, among the other vital roles that it plays in the body, helps the cells absorb vitamin C and other nutrients more efficiently.

Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new fingertips, but adult humans can't regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know that Western medicine ignores? Dan Keown's highly accessible, witty, and original book shows how Western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine and how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that Western medicine largely ignores.

This book has everything you need but never found before. Most of us wasted our time, energy, and money trying workout plans, signing up for diet regimens—but all to no avail. Understand what is primarily important and ditch the nonsensical advice, the culture of consumerism with flashy advertisements, and ubiquitously brilliant colors brought to you. Never forget that habits make the human. And your diet is more or less a habit, a conscious decision that you take every day. What you eat reflects who you are as an individual.

Have you tried one diet program after another, dropping some pounds, but never seeing real results? Sick and tired of these so-called miracle diets? Popular diets rarely work because they force you to adopt a short-sighted approach...like avoiding entire food groups or skipping meals. That is not a sustainable approach to weight loss.

Amazing book, terrible narrator
The book is full of great knowledge, super comprehensive, well explained and easy to follow. However, the narrator is one of the worst I’ve listened to. Her tone and the way she emphasizes each sentence in exactly the same cadence is boring and super tiring. It’s like listening to a crappy ad. I regret buying this as an audiobook instead of reading the actual book.
