We have seen an explosive deterioration of America's health in the past 50 years. 70 million people suffer from metabolic syndrome, 700,000 individuals die annually from heart disease, untold numbers are affected by cancers. We have seen an epidemic of esophageal reflux, fatty liver disease, gout, kidney failure, autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases and vitamin D deficiency. Why? One of the primary reasons for our failing health is our nutrition. We have been following guidelines that are deeply flawed and now nearly all of us is affected by one or several of these maladies. This book enlightens you about those flaws and the remedies for you to correct them. True health care reform starts with your own nutritional health and this book guides you through the steps needed to improve your nutritional health and perhaps even reverse some disease processes presently affecting you.
I won this book through Goodreads Giveaways. Dr. Lyons (a practicing Gastroenterologist) puts forth a strong argument for why the health of Americans has been plagued with an explosive increase of so many diseases in the past few decades. The Lyons Lifestyle is a list of seven simple things to do to immediately improve your health.
I would recommend this book for someone who wants to understand why some products are considered unhealthy. The book is relatively short and easily read.
