Health

What is the Most Important Influence Factor on Your Health?

It is your diet. Therefore the focus in this section is on nutrition.

I saw my grandma miserably dying from colon cancer. My grandpa died from a heart attack. My father had several medical interventions to widen his heart arteries with stents. Maybe you have similar tragic stories in your family.
Some years ago, I thought this was just normal. I assumed we will all die from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc., I’ve had no clue that most of the top 15 causes of death are preventable through lifestyle and especially dietary choices. I’ve had also no idea that many diseases are reversible with a healthy diet.
This was reasonable to dig deeper into nutrition and the important question
“What is a healthy diet?”
In this section, I collect the most helpful books, documentaries, and resources about this topic for you.
