[About the Book]
Is “antioxidation” really the answer?
Antioxidant supplements and products have become very popular in recent years. But according to the author, a medical doctor, simply taking antioxidants does not actually strengthen the body’s natural defenses-in fact, it could even harm your health.
Instead, this book introduces a surprising new perspective: letting the body “rust just a little.” By giving yourself a very light level of oxidative stress, your own natural ability to protect against damage becomes stronger. The book also explains the idea of “oxidation therapy” and the practice of “autologous blood ozone therapy,” which is being explored in Japan.
Easy to follow and full of fresh insights, this book offers a new way of thinking about health, anti-aging, and disease prevention.
