Foreword
According to the World Health Organization, globally, there are more than
billion overweight adults, and at least 300 million are obese. People are
becoming obese due to the availability of food, the changes in the kind of foods
that are eaten, and decreased exercise. Industrialization, urbanization, and
transportation have reduced physical activity; as a result, more than 60 percent
of the global population is not sufficiently active. Because being overweight or
obese makes people vulnerable to a variety of diseases (such as diabetes, heart
disease, stroke, and cancer), a failure to maintain a healthy weight ultimately
may compromise how long and how well you live.
In The Perfect 10 Diet, Dr. Michael Aziz thoughtfully presents the concept
that diet and nutrition profoundly affect longevity by modulating hormone
production. This book is filled with insightful science, presented in an accessible
manner, to help you take action now—not only to lose weight, but also to
significantly extend your life with years of productive vitality.
