Qué hay en la sangre y por qué debería importarte

Like almost everyone, chances are good that you get a blood test every now and then and keep your fingers crossed until you know the results. While blood tests focus on its key elements, they only provide a limited insight into what is happening in the body. Blood tests, in general, do not tell you if you are absorbing all the nutrients the body requires or if certain unwanted substances may be circulating in your body. Only when something goes very wrong - and possibly has been for years - the blood test indicates that there is a problem. What is in the blood and why you should care is the first book that presents a complete overview of the components that make up the blood, how it works, and what can be done to improve its quality in order to have good health and achieve greater longevity. The circulatory system is like the canals of Venice. Just as the waterways of this Italian city allow travelers to go from one place to another, the blood collects and leaves the 'passengers' throughout the body continuously. The arteries, veins, and capillaries are, in essence, a vast network of 'channels'. But just as the canals of Venice are used by various ships that carry people and cargo from one place to another, blood is made up of different components. What would happen if one of them stopped working correctly? What if some 'passengers' were dangerous characters that could cause damage to the entire body? What would happen, without a doubt, would make you sick, or perhaps even worse. By understanding how the circulatory system works, you will learn to maintain it so that it responds appropriately. Written in easy-to-understand language, What's in the Blood and Why You Should Care informs you of everything you need to know about blood and teaches you proven methods to cleanse and detoxify your bloodstream. From diets to supplements to medical treatments, everything is included in this innovative book.
