Supercharge Your Health With 100 Delicious Everyday Recipes
Rupy Aujla was just beginning his career as a doctor in the British National Health Service when, at the end of a weekend shift, he felt something strange in his chest. His heart was beating unusually fast – 200 times per minute, to be exact.
He recovered, but the palpitations kept coming back. And none of his doctor colleagues knew what was wrong. All they could recommend was either a lifetime of medication or a highly risky medical procedure.
Aujla didn’t like either option. So he decided to rethink his diet. And guess what? Once he started eating a well-researched, healthy diet, his heart problem went away – which made him reconsider the role that nutrition plays in keeping all of us healthy.
The key message here is: Rupy Aujla’s personal experience – and his medical training – taught him the value of eating well.
Being a qualified doctor, Aujla knew exactly what the diet shift did and didn’t tell him. While it had doubtless solved his heart problem, it wasn’t exactly clear why. The best he and his colleagues could guess was that a range of factors were involved. But that, in itself, was still remarkable.
Eating more vegetables, for instance, had probably replenished his cells with electrolytes and vitamins. Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower would have had particularly beneficial effects on his DNA. His gut bacteria would have likely improved when he started eating more fiber, and taking in more essential fatty acids may have helped calm his stress levels. Mindfulness helped with that last point, too.
A miracle cure? Not by a long shot. By simply creating the best possible environment for his body, Aujla had maximized the chances that it would function well.
It wasn’t long before Aujla realized that the passion he’d developed for good, healthy cooking was intimately connected with his work as a doctor. So he started talking to his patients about their diet, quizzing them about their eating habits. Recommending a few recipes, he found, was much more effective than medication in motivating people to live a healthier lifestyle.
And in the blinks to come, you’ll find out why.
The Doctor’s Kitchen (2017) is a guide to healthy eating, backed by extensive scientific research. It shows how eating well doesn’t have to be expensive, difficult, or boring – you just need to stock up on the right ingredients, cook them properly, and develop some good habits!
Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.
Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.
Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll
Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
Hol dir mit Blinkist die besten Erkenntnisse aus mehr als 7.000 Sachbüchern und Podcasts. In 15 Minuten lesen oder anhören!
