Bibliographic data of the best matching book
Over the past 200 years, human life-expectancy has approximately doubled. Yet we face soaring worldwide rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, mental illness, heart disease, and stroke. In his fascinating new book, Dr. Lee Goldman presents a radical explanation: The key protective traits that once ensured our species' survival are now the leading global causes of illness and death. Our capacity to store food, for example, lures us into overeating, and a clotting system designed to protect us from bleeding to death now directly contributes to heart attacks and strokes. A deeply compelling narrative that puts a new spin on evolutionary biology, TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING also provides a roadmap for getting back in sync with the modern world.,
An Amazon Best Book of December 2015: Rich with compelling research and startling facts, Dr. Goldman’s book explores why four survival traits that we Homo sapiens developed to sustain our species now contribute to higher mortality in our newly industrialized world. Blood clotting, avoidance of starvation, a hankering for salt, and emotional responsiveness once helped us propagate. Now they exacerbate strokes and heart disease, obesity and diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression. Goldman is strongest when talking about how the body works, and he explains in careful, clear detail how our systems function and where they are vulnerable. The chapter on depression and PSD is less convincing, though it doesn’t undermine the work as a whole. Readable without being breezy, Too Much of a Good Thing will open readers’ eyes to our biological limits, and at the same time emphasizes that we ultimately control our own health destiny. —Adria
