Help your body better fight off infection with Eat to Beat Disease and identify how food affects your immune system and what to put into your body in order to increase your resilience against illness.

Dr. William Li is on a mission to improve global health.

In the West, we live in a diseased society where the impacts of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes affect us all.

While advanced in many ways, Western medicine is lacking when it comes to using food in the battle against disease.

Food is becoming more important in medical treatment plans as experts realize that drugs alone can't answer the global health crisis.

Although food doesn't cure disease, it can help improve the defense systems that fight it.

Li is a medical specialist and research scientist who has put together a guide on improving health through nutrition.

Using extensive peer-reviewed research, Eat to Beat Disease outlines the foods that bolster the five defense systems critical to the health of every individual.

Rather than asking what drugs we should take, we need to ask ourselves what we can do to prevent diseases in the first place.
