We live in abundance: too much food, too much stress, too many expectations, and too many nutritional myths. "Low carb," "light," "high protein," "vegan"—all of this sounds healthy, but is often part of a problem that silently and insidiously makes us ill: silent inflammation—chronic inflammation that smolders in secret and is only discovered when it is usually too late. In this book, renowned anti-aging expert Prof. Dr. Markus Metka and nutritional economist and herbalist Dr. Klaus Postmann show how the modern lifestyle ignites our health—and how we can extinguish the fire. Silent inflammation is now considered a major cause of numerous lifestyle diseases—from depression and diabetes to cardiovascular problems. From the first silent warning signs to concrete nutritional tips: With clear analyses, compelling facts, and many practical recommendations, "The Body Is Burning" sheds light on one of the biggest health problems of our time. And shows how to bring the fire in your own body back into a healthy balance.
