The world needs to turn its attention toward fighting a wide range of different diseases. You have a huge chance to take charge of your life using food to transform your health. You can also decide what to eat and drink based on scientific evidence obtained from testing foods with similar methods and systems that have been used to discover and develop drugs. When we study food like medicine, the data clearly shows that food can influence our health in specific and beneficial ways.
Your health is an active state, protected by several defense systems in the body.
Doctors know that poor diet is linked to preventable disease, and food is becoming a topic of ever-greater significance in the medical community. Some advanced medical schools have included culinary classes to their curriculum. Food is easily accessible, and diet interventions do not depend on expensive pharmaceutical treatments.

The five defense systems against disease are:

• Angiogenesis
• Regeneration
• Microbiome
• DNA protection
• Immunity

By living your life in the right way, eating properly and focusing upon overall wellbeing, you can ensure all of these systems are firing on all cylinders, keeping you strong and healthy.

This summary will give you the knowledge and tools to make better decisions when choosing what to eat daily. It is intended to help you live longer by eating foods that you like. This read is for those who are keen to remain in good health or anyone who wants to focus on their health and prevent development of disease in the future.
Medicine alone cannot keep us healthy; the modern answer to preventing disease is food.
second key point

Regeneration is the maintenance of existing organs

You might want to ask how organs are maintained and grown. Well, the simple answer is stem cells, and they are very important to our health. A sudden halt in the workings of the stem cells will see any individual dead in a week. From the moment an individual is conceived, stem cells start to play a crucial role in maintaining overall health and body. One of the incredible attributes of these stem cells is that they are pluripotent. This implies that they can create any cell or tissue in the body, starting from the muscle to nerve to skin, brain, and eyeball.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
