I’m going to convince you that the opportunity of having the biggest impact on your health, is actually in your hands. In this book, you’ll begin to understand why, as a doctor, I’m so passionate about communicating that food and lifestyle is the best method of boosting health and reaffirming the concept of Plates over Pills. Quite simply, natural whole foods are the most advanced ‘drugs’ you could ever imagine and what we eat literally has an impact on every bodily system. I’m going to take you on a tour of why this is the case and how to take control and become the expert of your own health.
My name is Rupy. I’m an NHS medical doctor, founder of the non-profit Culinary Medicine UK, and I’m passionate about teaching everybody how to use food and lifestyle as medicine. I firmly believe the key to a happy, healthy life starts in our kitchen and this new book Eat to Beat Illness aims to continue and deepen the conversation we started in my first book. In my first book, I took you on a culinary journey through food in medicine, introducing you to the most fascinating and relevant concepts that prove why I believe that what you choose to put on your plate is one of the most important health interventions anyone can make. That book could be described as a manifesto, declaring why we need to take nutrition seriously. This, my second book, is a blueprint that demonstrates the intersection of diet and lifestyle factors across multiple medical specialities and how you can improve your ultimate level of wellbeing today.
As a doctor, it’s my responsibility to deliver credible, evidence-based information, which is why I’m very comfortable talking about the medicinal effects of eating well. Research is clearly demonstrating that improving our diet and lifestyle can enhance our health, and the traditional scepticism surrounding this topic is changing. More doctors are taking an active interest in this area either because of personal experience, anecdotes from their patients or simply because people are starting to demand more from their doctors than purely pharmaceutical fixes that are unsustainable.
The decision about which topics to discuss in this new cookbook has been heavily influenced by my experience as a doctor. Patients often tell me in clinic that they didn’t realise how food can impact a variety of conditions beyond heart disease and sugar control. Whether it’s their bones, arthritis, skin, or even sleep and mood, I always have a chat with my patients about food and discuss the relevance of nutrition and lifestyle to their overall health. There is an incredible amount of research looking at the impact of diet and it is the vital first step in the resolution of many problems. Every patient deserves this information and this new book will give you an insight into why I’m so vocal about the subject.
