'The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid' introduces a secret key to losing weight, controlling blood sugar, and achieving extraordinary heath. The book features the LUV Diet and 40 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes, and a 21-day programme for dropping uric acid levels. The bestselling author Dr David Perlmutter offers dietary and lifestyle tweaks to help you lose weight, prevent and reverse disease, and live a long, healthy life. What do obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, fatty liver disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels and even slight elevations are still within the 'normal' range. The book offers simple dietary edits focussed on managing common ingredients, natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, quercetin and coffee, information on over-the-counter and prescription drugs that threaten to increase uric acid, and lifestyle interventions such as restorative sleep, meal timing and exercise. From diabetes to dementia the book explains the fallacy of fructose and how uric acid amplifies brain decline and triggers fat production, from thickening your waistline to filling your liver with dangerous fat, even if you're not overweight. The book involves a little history, science and physiology and goes on to describe how managing healthy levels is not nearly as hard as you may think. The pay off will be well worth the time and effort. 325pp, large paperback with clear layout.
