Book Synopsis



Tu salud depende mucho más de tu comportamiento que de la genética o la suerte.


Obesidad, hipertensión, diabetes, ansiedad, depresión, dolores crónicos, problemas de espalda y un largo etcétera son sólo algunos ejemplos de las patologías crónicas que forman parte de la vida cotidiana de demasiadas personas.


¿Y cuál es la respuesta de la medicina convencional ante esta epidemia de enfermedades? Tratar los síntomas y no la causas, con lo que nos mantiene vivos... y enfermos.


Cuando buscamos culpables ante esta situación es tentador pensar en nuestra genética. Sin embargo, hoy sabemos que el conflicto entre nuestro estilo de vida y lo que esperan nuestros genes es lo que nos enferma. Éstos se forjaron en la adversidad, generando respuestas protectoras frente a desafíos ambientales como por ejemplo el frío, el calor o ayunos involuntarios por falta de alimento.


Dichas respuestas son las que convirtieron a nuestros ancestros en personas de salud privilegiada. Sin embargo, en la actualidad pasamos jornadas maratonianas sentados, continuamente estresados, inundados de comida que nos engorda pero no nos alimenta y todo bajo la promesa de una felicidad que nunca llega.


La solución no pasa por una «pastilla milagrosa», sino por incorporar en nuestro día a día los estímulos para los que nuestros genes están preparados para responder. Es lo que se llama hormesis y se basa en la vieja sabiduría popular de «lo que no te mata, te hace más fuerte».


Si a todo esto le sumamos el reconectar con la naturaleza, una dieta basada en comida real o las técnicas de respiración milenarias... llevarás tu salud y bienestar a un nivel superior.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Your health depends far more on your behavior than on genetics or luck.


Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, back problems, and a host of other conditions are only some examples of chronic pathologies that are part of daily life for too many people.


And what is conventional medicine's response to this epidemic of diseases? Treat the symptoms and not the causes, which keeps us alive... and sick.


When we look for culprits it's tempting to blame our genetics. However, we now know that the mismatch between our lifestyle and what our genes expect is what makes us sick. Those genes were forged in adversity, producing protective responses to environmental challenges such as cold, heat, or involuntary fasting due to food scarcity.


These responses made our ancestors people of robust health. Today, however, we endure marathon days sitting, chronic stress, food that fattens but does not nourish, all under the promise of happiness that never arrives.


The solution is not a "miracle pill" but to incorporate into our daily lives the stimuli our genes are prepared to respond to. This is called hormesis and is based on the old popular wisdom of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".


Combine that with reconnecting with nature, a diet based on real food, and ancient breathing techniques... and you'll raise your health and well-being to a higher level.
