We were surprised by some of the advice in the book because it’s so… easy. Lipman talks a lot about strengthening the powers of your cells through “small stresses.” This could mean running up a flight of stairs or simply radically changing the temperature – say, finishing a hot shower with 30 seconds of an invigorating cold rinse. Believe it or not, this contributes to a stronger immune system.
Fasting turns out to be a big deal, and although we’ve heard a lot about fasting before, we’ve never seen it explained so well.

We had no idea!

Why is everything okay – and even to improve – do not eat before exercising in the morning.

Clarity about complicated things like eggs (are they good or bad?), salt (it’s not necessarily the quantity, but rather the type this can be problematic) and sugar (agave and honey are basically equally harmful to the body).
