Dr. William Li: A popular doctor and author, Dr. William Li, spoke at the Sentara Health Forum about the importance of diet in maintaining good health. He discussed how our bodies have defense systems that protect us from diseases and how our diet can impact these defense systems. Dr. Li mentioned that foods like cacao, turmeric, broccoli sprouts, and oysters have been found to stimulate stem cells, boost the immune system, and have anti-cancer effects. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy microbiome, which can be achieved through foods like kiwi, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Dr. Li mentioned that some foods, like soy and lectins, have received mixed reviews, but he encouraged the audience to look at scientific evidence and make informed decisions about their diet. He stressed the need to be critical and open-minded when it comes to nutrition, and to understand that certain foods can have positive or negative effects on our health. Dr. Li concluded by saying that by making good decisions about our diet, we have the power to improve our health and prevent diseases. He also mentioned that his new book, “Eat to Beat Disease”, will be released in March 2019 and will provide more information on how to use food to support our defense systems and improve our overall health.
