Journalists have written close to 250 million newsarticles combinedabout these topics. Yet nothing seems to halt the epidemic. Anastacia Marx de Salcedo’sEat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horselooks not just to data-driven science, but to animals and the natural world around us for a new approach.What she finds will transform the national debateabout the root causes of our most pervasive diseasesand offer hope of dramatically reducing the number who suffer—no matter what theyeat. It all began with her ownmedical miracle—she has multiple sclerosis but has discovered that daily exercise was key to keeping it from progressing.And now,new research backs up her own experience.This revelation promptedMarx de Salcedo toask what would happen if people with lifestyle illnesses put physicalactivityfrontand center in their daily lives?
