The `Zone' is not a celebrity fad diet but the physiological state we should all be in but are mostly (about 99%) not. It can be measured using evidence-based markers of wellness and achieved through nutritional rules that will surprise many of those currently focused on `gluten-free' and `low-carb'. If you are in the Zone you are free from inflammation and also able to RESOLVE any inflammation arising from injury or infection; unresolved inflammation lies behind all chronic `diseases of civilisation'. Barry Sear's latest book goes back to the basics to explain why the primary `drug' to keep inflammation in balance is nutrition. Learn: Why inflammation makes you fat, sick and age faster; Why much of inflammation begins in the gut; Why anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit resolution; How Pro-resolution Nutrition can get you into, and keep you in, The Zone. Are you ready to live to 100 years old?
