Health Revolution

Health Revolution
Maria Borelius

The five-step anti-inflammatory plan that will change your life.At the age of 52, I was experiencing menopause symptoms, back pain, fatigue, and a general feeling of melancholy about my life. I felt that everything was beginning to go downhill.But after just a few months with a new lifestyle, my life had changed. I was happier, stronger, and pain-free – what had happened?Through a series of remarkable coincidences, I realised that I had stumbled on something completely new – anti-inflammatory food – that could cure and prevent illness, and even put the brakes on ageing.That’s how my journey of research began and the contours of a whole new lifestyle emerged. This is my story, and I’m sharing it with you in the hope that you will find inspiration, healing, and strength.Bringing together groundbreaking research, brand new studies and a lifetime of experimentation, Maria Borelius’ Health Revolution presents a simple five step program to bring out the best version of all of us.
