Nutrition: My Quintessentials

Professor Andreas Michalsen is one of the most high-profile doctors in Germany, enjoys a great reputation internationally, and is one of the world’s most renowned researchers in the field of nutritional medicine.

On the back of multiple bestsellers, in this book, the Berlin-based physician has boiled down the quintessential findings of recent research in the field of nutritional science. Michalsen explains how we can enjoy a healthy and energetic life purely by controlling what we eat, detailing what and how we should eat in order to live much longer than was previously thought possible. He does away with the big myths about diets, fat, salt, and milk. Michalsen tells you everything you need to know about anti-ageing pills, superfoods, and weight-loss injections. Drawing on his decades of experience working in the hospital system, he describes how food can make us sick, and where some of the hidden dangers for our health lie. Michalsen takes us on a journey through our own bodies, describing why the liver is so indispensable, how energy comes from the intestines, and how the digestive system is intricately intertwined with our brains.

By understanding more about these bodily phenomena and the secrets of nutrition, you can protect yourself against obesity and chronic illnesses such a cancer and dementia. You’ll live longer. And you can also help to save the climate!
