Dubbed by many of our customers going through Cancer treatment as the one book they have found to be the most beneficial, Dr David Servan-Schreiber’s ‘Anti-Cancer: A New Way Of Life’ has been a Content bookshelf favourite for a while now and is an interesting read for those going through treatment, their partners and to anyone seeking to clean-up their diet and lifestyle..
Featuring accessible information that stems from Dr Servan-Schreiber’s first-hand experience with Cancer alongside scientific findings and data, the book outlines the lifestyle factors that can help or hinder the development or progression of cancerous tumours; with sections dedicated to addressing the environmental, dietetic and psychological aspects.
Combining a contemporary approach that favours a holistic investigation of how our way of life can influence our immune system and the inflammatory mechanisms that lead to disease, the book favours four suggested approaches; guarding ourselves against the imbalances of our environment, adjusting our diet and dealing with psychological distress to ultimately create a relationship with our bodies that fosters a resilient immunity.
Favouring some of our favourite immune boosting foods, products and supplements and taking into account the mind-body relationship, Dr Servan-Schreiberb reveals how we can incorporate some of the practises outlined in the chapters into our every-day.
