So when your blood vessels are healthy, the rest of you stands a chance to be healthy.

And so one of the things that I became so fascinated by about blood vessels was how it's a common

denominator of health.

And that's really how I think about the connection between food, which we eat, the substances

with our food get into our bloodstream, and then the bloodstream, our blood vessels,

deliver them everywhere. So what is the consequence of healthy foods that we eat for our circulation?

And what are the consequences of the negative foods that we might eat as well? And that balance is

sort of a new lens by which we can actually look at our help.

Well, Dr. William Lee is a genuinely world-renowned physician and medical scientist.

He is, I have to say, one of my favorite people.

And he's also here today to explain how to eat to beat disease.

This is the Lizal Well-Being Show, the podcast helping us all have a better

second half. I'm Lizelle and I am on a bit of a mission to find ways for all of us to thrive

in later life by investing in our health and our well-being today. And of course, one of the key

ways to do that is what we choose to eat. And this month we are focusing

on disease prevention. We've already done a deep dive into heart disease in women, as well as the

idea of promoting health span through preventative medicine and lifestyle factors. And that's a thread

that we're going to be picking up on again today, literally how we can eat to beat disease.

And I have to say that I am very grateful to Will for his time.

I first met him at a dinner through mutual friends back in, oh, I don't know, 2017, 2018,

when in fact he was putting the finishing touches to his extraordinary book.

It's called Eat to Beat Disease, the body's five defence systems to the foods that could save your life.
