Review of OUCH! The Pain of Modern Civilization
[Following is a volunteer review of "OUCH! The Pain of Modern Civilization" by Dr. Ajay Issar & Alka Issar.]
We all wonder why certain things are happening within our bodies, when we consume certain foods, or when we experience certain emotions. There are many things in life we were told to do that would benefit our health, but often we are not given the scientific reasons for doing so. I felt the book Ouch! The Pain of Modern Civilization by Dr. Ajay Issar & Alka Issar was overwhelmingly impressive. I didn’t want to put down the book, and I am ready to read it a second time.
The book is rich with good information. I liked how each concept was explained. It was broken down by the science behind it, the research associated with it, and how it affects us on a day-to-day basis. The authors, Dr. Ajay Issar & Alka Issar, make an impressive effort to explain how every little thing we do, feel, and eat affects us at a cellular level. So many concepts made much more sense when it was backed by medical science. It also had a touch of humor, despite the seriousness of the topics. The stories of real-life people made it easier to grasp concepts.
All the side effects of modernization like, eating over-processed food for the sake of convenience, or watching movies and calling it relaxation, are all wrong. The book talks a lot about under-activity and its downsides. A good overview was provided about our circadian rhythm and the need for restoration. There was a lot of information on chronic disease activators. We can correlate to many of these activators in our everyday lives. It is good to be aware of these triggers ahead of a major downfall. Insulin resistance was explained in detail, and it answered a lot of questions for me. The behavior and development of cancer cells were discussed too.
Everything in this book, in general, makes us mindful of our everyday activities. It also provides preventive solutions which are not hard to follow. The book had an achievable plan to reduce oxidative stress. There is also a part about french fries from fast-food restaurants. You need to read the book to find out. That part made me uneasy, and I hope it has the same effect on you.
There was nothing I did not like about the book. The book is very informational and personal.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is a wealth of information. If we follow this, we can lead more productive lives.
The book is recommended for anyone interested in understanding how chronic diseases develop and how they can be prevented at an early stage by making lifestyle changes. The book is well-edited, and there were no errors in the book.
