Review "An illuminating exploration of the rich and varied history—and myriad health benefits—of fasting . . . Mr. Hendricks, a freelance reporter, is a deft stylist . . . and he excels at describing the experience of going without food . . ." * The Wall Street Journal *"[A] thought-provoking survey . . . The author weaves a fascinating personal narrative . . . with a comprehensive history of the practice, from prehistoric humans who fasted from necessity up to modern-day clinics that use it. While enthusiastic, Hendricks is careful not to oversell fastings benefits . . . and he pulls no punches when highlighting flaws in research, as with studies that emphasize profit rather than health. His levelheaded, irreverent approach and sharp reporting set the book apart. The result is a winning mix of captivating storytelling and fascinating science." * Publishers Weekly *"Hendrickss book is a remarkable blend of authoritative history, illuminating science, and endearing storytelling. In The Oldest Cure in the World, Hendricks gives us the wonders of fasting—too long neglected by doctors and scientists, too often misunderstood by most of us, yet so potent a therapy—with marvelous clarity, page-turning crispness, and appealing humanity." * Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies *"Steve Hendricks set himself the Herculean task of weaving together the long history and deep science of fasting with his own revealing self-experiments—and has succeeded brilliantly in turning out a captivating tale. The Oldest Cure in the World is an engrossing tour de force and offers a bona fide strategy for slowing the aging process." * Dan Buettner, New York Times–bestselling author of The Blue Zones *"Few people know that science has shown fasting is a key that unlocks ancient restorative systems and mobilizes some of the bodys most powerful regenerative mechanisms. In The Oldest Cure in the World, Steve Hendricks proves to be a master of explaining the multitude of benefits that various kinds of fasting can unleash. Fasting is a core part of my integrative cardiology practice. This book is a must-read for those looking for a long healthspan." * Dr. Joel Kahn, author of Your Whole Heart Solution *"A smart, narrative look at a very hot topic, offering a fascinating look at the science behind the counterintuitive concept of going without food for our health." * The Next Big Idea Club *"I was blown away by this book. . . . There is so much information in this book that I had never even remotely, possibly, even briefly heard of. Its honestly mind blowing [and] a page turner. There were literally times my mouth dropped open. . . . Get the book, read it, read all of it." * Melanie Avalon, The Intermittent Fasting Podcast *"A literary gem, with fantastic lines scattered like laugh-bombs throughout its pages. . . . Whats especially joyful about this book is Steves insistence on getting the science right. He argues against unsupported claims no matter where they come from: vegans, keto promoters, you name it. He doesnt overstate the power of fasting, noting that hype is one of the enemies of widespread acceptance by the scientific community. . . . Steve Hendricks is at least three things: a tenacious reporter, a brilliant and hilarious writer, and a truly good dude." * Howard Jacobson, Plant Yourself Podcast *"Fascinating . . . an important book." * Boulder Daily Camera * Promotional "An illuminating exploration of the rich and varied history—and myriad health benefits—of fasting." —Wall Street Journal Details ISBN1419748483 Author Steve Hendricks Pages 304 Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781419748486 Format Paperback Imprint Abrams Press Subtitle Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting Language English ISBN-10 1419748483 UK Release Date 2023-12-21 Publisher Abrams Publication Date 2023-12-21 Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States NZ Release Date 2023-12-21 US Release Date 2023-12-21 DEWEY 613.25 Audience General AU Release Date 2024-02-21 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
