SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'If you read this book you’ll live longer and you’re going to leave this world better than you found it… amazing' Chris Evans, Virgin Radio UK

Following on from Dr Rupy’s bestselling cookbook The Doctor’s Kitchen, Eat to Beat Illness distils actionable ideas for daily life to teach you how to use food to trigger and amplify your defences against illness. Accompanying the advice are 80 new delicious recipes.

In Dr Rupy’s second book, he builds on the message that what you choose to put on your plate is one of the most important health interventions you can make. Food can not only affect our likelihood of disease but can also lengthen our lives, change our mood, and even affect the expression of our DNA.

The first section of the book explains how our bodies can better fight off illness through eating well and how we can heal our bodies through simple lifestyle changes, including exercise, stress reduction, sleeping well, and finding purpose in our lives.

It is now scientifically proven that certain foods and food groups are beneficial for staving off illness. Here, Rupy will look at key conditions such as cancer, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and stress, and explain what to eat to increase our chances of staying healthy.

With recipes full of tempting international flavours such as Roast Golden Beets with Italian Greens and Hazelnut Pesto; Bangladeshi Cod Curry; Patchcock Poussin and Middle Eastern Ful Medames; Iranian Dizi Stew; Garlic Chilli Prawn and Black Bean Stir-fry with Bokchoy and Silverbeet; Pea and Broccoli Orecchiette; Japanese Togarashi Mix, to name just a few, eating well has never been so easy and delicious.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The recipes are noted for being both accessible and inspiring, making it a favourite among those looking to incorporate healthier eating habits into their lifestyle.
