Anti-Inflammatory Diet Solution: Heal Your Immune System, Boost Your Brain, Strengthen Your Heart
Autor Stig Bengmark M.D., Ph.D.en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2022
Professor and legendary surgeon Stig Bengmark reveals his secrets in this beautifully illustrated, scientifically rigorous guide to living a longer, healthier life.
Stig Bengmark is one of the foremost innovators and visionaries in Swedish medicine. After a long and celebrated career in medicine, as he found himself approaching old age, he realized there was no single source out there that could tell him how to simply live healthily. When a discovery is made in the field of nutritional research, fad diets arise, gain momentum, and ultimately get discarded by the public when the next discovery is made – but what does it all mean? Which dietary advice is sound, and which is based on conjecture?
In The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Plan, you will find the answer to questions such as:
- How do I make sense of anti-inflammatory eating?
- What is chronic inflammation, and how can I tell if I have it?
- Do I have to stop eating everything that’s tasty in order to live a healthy life?
- Should my plate be colour-coded?
- What are synbiotics?
- What is durra and how can it help me?
- How can I set myself up for success when grocery shopping?
- Should I want to diet?
- Is it possible to lose weight without falling into dangerous restrictions or gaining it all back later?
- What good, if any, does exercise even do?
- Keto, gluten-free or intermittent fasting – which way of eating is the best, and do I have to choose?
For over 30 years professor Stig Bengmark has researched the impact of gut bacteria on general health. He knew of – and applied to his own life! – the benefits of anti-inflammatory eating well before news of it broke to mass audiences. At 90 years old he still lectures, writes and works. Now, his revolution has finally come. In The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Plan—the culmination of his life's work, beautifully illustrated by Sebastian Wadsted—Stig Bengmark shares the results of his research along with all his best advice, easy-to-follow strategy guides and practical recipes to help you make the right choices for you, your body and your lifestyle. In the end, it comes down to nothing less than longevity.
Everyone can choose health. Your body, mind and immune system will thank you – as will your grandchildren!

After taking on the gargantuan task of bringing together all of the recent strides made in the field of health and nutritional science, Bengmark lent his expertise to health bloggers Lina Aurell and Mia Clase in their project Food Pharmacy, making him a household name in Sweden. Choose Health! is the culmination of his life’s work.

Extras
A mistake made in my surgery clinic in the 1990s gave me new and amazing insights into how intestinal bacteria affect our health.
I decided to look deeper into questions about intestinal bacteria and digestion. Our Western dietary habits proved to be even more destructive than I had imagined. My life’s project increasingly turned into a wide-ranging education issue. I wanted to give as many people as possible the chance to eat themselves healthy.
The first two chapters must unfortunately be somber and focused on the biggest threats to intestinal health in our opulent society. However, the rest of the book is all about how easily you can change your dietary habits and improve your health immensely!
****
I worked as a surgeon until I retired. As one of the pioneers in extensive abdominal surgery, my specialty was the major organs such as the liver and the pancreas. When cancer was present, we usually removed the entire pancreas or up to 75 percent of the liver.
Even though the surgery was successful, the recuperation wasn’t always to my satisfaction. Serious infections often occurred. It bothered me to no end that I could not promise a guaranteed success for the surgical procedure I prescribed for my patients. All too often I had to cancel a vacation or a trip abroad because a patient upon whom I had operated suddenly turned critical.
Bad News . . . and Good
One day a new perspective on the problem arrived like a gift from above.
I had asked the young physician Henrik Ekberg, later a professor of organ transplantation (1951–2012), to study in depth our latest eighty-one major liver surgeries. Suddenly, he knocked on my door and said he had both bad and good news.
What he told me frightened me terribly. He said in a number of cases they had forgotten to administer antibiotics. By the standard operating procedure of the time, antibiotics were to be given a few days before and then during seven to ten days after surgery.
Shock and horror! How was this possible? Isn’t our university clinic meant to be a role model for other hospitals in the country? Deeply shocked, I sank down into my chair, and Ekberg added, “But, Stig—wait, I said I have good news, too! All infections were in patients who had been administered antibiotics! There were no infections at all in the patients who had not been given any antibiotics.”
This changed everything. Could the antibiotics have killed off the beneficial intestinal flora?
During my last years as surgeon, observations of my own and others pointed toward a correlation between infectious complications, intestinal flora/colon function, and the patient’s own immune defense. Strengthened by Ekberg’s confirmatory revelation, I was now eager to further research the intestinal flora.
