About :

Dr. Odile Fernández, an author who sold thousands of books after overcoming ovarian cancer with metastasis in 2010 and devoting herself to research and dissemination of information about diet and cancer and other diseases, returns with a clear and useful work that provides readers with essential keys to reduce the harmful effects of inflammation, glucose spikes and stress on our health: Habits that will save your life (Ed. Planeta). A project based on research that highlights the close relationship between diet, lifestyle habits and disease prevention. On May 10 at El Tercer Piso de Librería Proteo we presented this book, as useful, clear and documented as it is revolutionary, in a conversation between the doctor from Granada and the director of ETP, the journalist Héctor Márquez, who a few years ago brought her to his Aula Savia project in La Térmica in a multitudinous meeting with young mothers and pregnant women about healthy eating in children. It was an event that once again filled our Third Floor beyond capacity and where Odile did not stop signing copies. HABITS THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE What can we do to prevent diseases? How are the warning signs of our body detected? Dr. Odile Fernández presents us with this practical and enlightening book that will change your life: a guide to prevent inflammation, cancer, depression, migraines, obesity, food allergies, microbiota disorders or autoimmune diseases. With it we will learn to control sugar spikes - those silent killers that undermine our health and control our mood - and what steps we have to follow to reduce inflammation and stress with a proposal of menus and habits with which you will achieve extraordinary results. Know your body, what role does glucose play? Our body communicates with us constantly; it is important that you understand how it works and learn to listen to its messages so that you can help it heal consciously. To understand how glucose works, we need to understand mitochondria, specialised compartments within the body's cells responsible for generating most of the energy we need. They are the ones that transform the chemical energy of food, glucose, into mechanical energy so that we can move and function. Our body obtains the glucose it needs to function from the food we eat, mainly from carbohydrates. These include natural sugars, such as those found in fruit and dairy products; added sugars in the form of glucose, sucrose, fructose and maltose; starches and fibre; and are classified as fast-absorbing and slow-absorbing carbohydrates. "The truth is that it is not advisable to eliminate carbohydrates from the diet, since they contribute favourably to the proper functioning of the body. What is important is that we know how to recognise which carbohydrates are the healthiest and in what quantities we need them."
