Although we experience our bodies as solid, says Chopra, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance; our skin is new every five weeks; each year, ninety-eight per cent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old medical system from India, gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day. In this way we can re-establish the body's essential balance with nature, strengthen the mind-body connection, and use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging. First published a decade ago and an international bestseller ever since, this is a totally new, revised edition of Perfect Health, updated to include the very latest medical research.
