Most people know the relationship between diet and health, and many among them already understand that gluten, dairy products, and sugars (among other things) are harmful to one's well-being. And yet, all too often, when we go into specifics trying to reach an explanation about the real reasons and the real harmful effects of these foods, we find ourselves without answers. In this book you will find the answers you have been looking for for some timeclear answers, expressed with simple but thorough explanations, and all based on scientific evidence. The answers that nobody has ever given you. You will also discover what the true Mediterranean diet entails, and learn how to follow it to improve your health. You will understand the reasons why certain illnesses arise, but above all, how to intervene in order to reset your body will be explained to you, through a targeted food program which will allow you to come into your best physical shape. For those who want to lose weight quickly, healthily and permanently, this is the book for you! Those who do not need to lose weight, but who live with more or less serious health problems will also find this book very useful. Dr. Dario Polisano is a biologist-nutritionist with degrees in ”Pharmaceutical Science Applied to Health Products” and ”Food Science and Human Nutrition.” He is an expert in clinical nutrition, and he is registered in the Honor Roll of Nutritionists. Today he continuously updates his course of study; in fact, he is now completing a master's degree in naturopathy and has achieved countless advanced courses on nutrition and on food integrators for cancer patients. After radically changing how he eats, and solving the countless health problems that had plagued him for years, he decided to help others by spreading his diet method, which he developed after long years of study. Dr. Dario Polisano affirms that we must not suppress the symptoms of our body, but rather interpret them and take action on the biological mechanisms that caused them.

Отрывок из книги
I am not a medical doctor, nor do I want to be. I am proud to be a nutritional biologist. My profession does not allow me to prescribe drugs or diagnose pathologies; those are tasks for doctors. I am a firm believer in our own bodies’ vital force and self-healing power. My job, or mission, is to enable that power through proper nutrition, an important factor which is, unfortunately, often underestimated.
Today’s technology helps us with innovative solutions in all fields. It also helps in the biological-nutritional field with, for example, the use of supplements, or non-synthetic molecular concentrates found in nature. A nutritional biologist can advise supplements, when essential, in order to help a patient recover more quickly. Unfortunately, often enough, what happens is that people get the mistaken idea that supplements are good for everything, without any negative effects—and that notion is absolutely false. Supplements act like actual medication. It is true that when a woman takes folic acid during her pregnancy, she avoids possible conditions such as spina bifida for her baby, but it is also true that the misuse of supplements can lead to damage instead, by causing the activation of gene mutation from its dormant to its hyperactive phase, with often disastrous consequences for our bodies. Guidance regarding the subject of dietary supplements is always best left to a conscientious and competent expert.
.....
I am a simple, social and honest person who has never had an agenda, ulterior motives or monetary interests, especially when it comes to health. I will try to explain to you not only my truths as a nutritional biologist, but also the everyday objective truths regarding health problems.
My food system is not called the Italian Reset Diet for no reason; the word “reset” has a specific purpose—to reset your body gradually and bring it back to proper nutrition in a controlled manner. Justifiably, you may now be thinking that all of this is based on dietary deprivation and constraints, but you will change your mind once you have read the last part of the book, which is about how you have at your disposal an infinite variety of food products typical of the peoples who have lived in our Italy: eggs, legumes, fish, seasonal fruits, ancient whole grains and much more.
