Description
Nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are the key to good health.
The digestive system is an essential part of the human body, because it is responsible for assimilating nutrients and eliminating toxins. When healthy, it protects the immune system from the risk of overload, keeps the metabolism in balance and keeps our weight under control.
By promoting its correct functioning through an adequate lifestyle and a rich and varied diet , we can combat numerous health problems, without giving up good food.
Gastritis, ulcers, biliary colic, esophageal reflux, hepatic steatosis, hepatitis, cirrhosis. And again: abdominal swelling, diverticulosis, ulcerative colitis, food intolerances, celiac disease, Crohn's disease and much more. Digestive and gastrointestinal disorders are frequent and annoying and increasingly lead patients to seek remedies in medicines.
A healthy diet, rich in vegetables, fruit and fibre, but low in sugars, proteins and fats of animal origin, could, however, prevent and solve a large part of these problems, also reducing the risk of diseases cardiovascular, diabetes and tumors.
In his new book, Salvatore Ricca Rosellini invites us to analyze (also through some simple quizzes) our way of eating, the quality of the foods we consume, our intestinal functions and our level of well-being . It then suggests the most suitable eating patterns for our situation.
There is also a useful in-depth analysis of the role of plants in the treatment of the main digestive and liver disorders.

Insights
From the introduction:
"The idea that the doctor must make the diagnosis in order to find the specific pharmacological cure is crumbling in the face of the complexity and multiple causes of the degenerative and tumor diseases that affect our society today.
The principle that a pill, a syrup or an injection can be the cure for every disease is fallacious; dangerous for our health and unnecessarily and exaggeratedly expensive for our pockets and the healthcare system. We treat diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and triglycerides, arteriosclerosis, dementia, steatosis, cirrhosis, diverticula, colitis, tumors... with dozens of medicines to take every day! And we forget, many times, that a healthy diet combined with regular physical activity could have prevented or, now, would be able to improve, most of these diseases.
But the reader should not be discouraged! You will be able to find, in the pages of the book, those indications that will lead you to deal with your relationship with food with greater awareness and to improve your health. He will be able to experience a regained well-being, seeing his physical form "enhanced"; reducing weight, improving appearance and energy, increasing agility, containing annoying symptoms and, why not, achieving, in many cases, healing."
