Timothy Ferriss is reportedly something of a guru in some circles. I had never heard of him before, but for some reason his book The 4-Hour Body, published in 2010, piqued my interest after it appeared in the selection of the online library.
The book, like its author, has completely divided people's opinions. The 4-hour body focuses on how to get the maximum benefit with as little effort as possible. Too much is too much and wastes time.
Most of the book focuses on losing weight and at the same time increasing muscle mass, as quickly as possible of course. Of course, it was inspiring to notice that a low-carbohydrate diet is also recommended here, of course with its own (strange?) twist.
Many of Timothy Ferriss' instructions and advice are quite extreme, and potentially dangerous. As just one example of a lighter end, he forgets to mention that green tea extract (EGCG) as a dietary supplement can destroy the liver.
The book presents an interesting claim about the connection between cell phone radiation and sperm count and motility. In general, Ferriss thinks that anything aimed at maximizing fertility is healthy.
And in these times when there is a virus that destroys people's immunity and kills t-cells, the question arises, is there any way to increase the number of t-cells? Ferris thinks you can, but whether it's healthy is another matter entirely.
