Acclaimed best-selling author David Perlmutter reveals how to prevent (or reverse) disease and live a long and happy life by reducing uric acid levels. What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? According to Perlmutter's observations, all these disorders are associated with high levels of uric acid in the body. Many suffer from its elevated level, but do not even suspect it, which increases the risk of developing or exacerbating life-threatening diseases. Perlmutter will tell the truth about uric acid and give simple tools to help reduce its levels (changes in diet, natural methods - for example, regular use of coffee and cherries, avoiding pharmaceuticals that reduce uric acid levels, simple lifestyle changes - restorative sleep and regular exercise).The book presents an interesting and unusual diet designed specifically to reduce uric acid levels, simple recipes for delicious and healthy dishes, tests for self-assessment of your current condition and a 21-day uric acid reduction program. Readers will receive information that, according to Perlmutter, will help eliminate the hidden threat, increase life expectancy, become slimmer, younger and healthier.
