How is that possible? By following the specific recommendations that reverse aging in the bestselling book "RealAge: Are You as Young as You Can Be?" people who were previously much older than their chronological age have now taken ten, fifteen, up to 24 years off of their biological age. It's been called The RealAge Makeover. Since the first book came out, Roizen and his team learned much more about the process of aging. Think about it: there is something in the news practically every day pertaining to age-related diseases - one food is found to increase the risk of heart disease, while another has been found to decrease it. In "The RealAge Makeover", Dr. Roizen makes sense of these recent critical medical findings and offers steps that will reduce or even prevent 80 per cent of the diseases that make you feel or be older. With all this information, Roizen believes you can control your genes to a very large degree. For example, just eating the right chocolate or drinking a little coffee can help you reduce inflammation dramatically and preserve your arteries, joints, and memory.But the wrong choice can lead to needless aging and loss of energy. And "The RealAge Makeover" tells you how much (in years) each choice is worth so you can make the choices that are meaningful for you. Why not live at 60 feeling like you did at 35? More potent than any statistic or finding, however, are the personal stories interwoven throughout the book - success stories from readers who followed the RealAge program and made themselves over significantly. They became younger biologically and are living happier, healthier lives.编辑推荐Amazon.com
Dr. Michael Roizen hopes to discover a cure for the common birthday. The author of the bestselling bookRealAgeand Oprah guru, Roizen translates groundbreaking medical research into a series of calculations and choices that promise to reduce age-linked symptoms and diseases. TheRealAge Makeoverbegins with a self-test of 132 health factor questions that compare your calendar age with your "real age"--based on healthy habits plus heredity, he rounds up the usual suspects (sun exposure, sleep patterns, good fats) as well as the unusual (the kind of chocolate you eat, the number of nagging unfinished tasks, your catsup consumption). Although Roizen flags heredity, he focuses on the three key factors of aging: arteries (heart attack, stroke, memory loss), immune systems (prostate and breast cancer), and environmental stresses (lung cancer, STDs). He offers a sliding scale of difficulty in his "younger every day suggestions." Whether talking about stress, diet, or disease, Roizen offers case examples and subtle and engaging strategies such as describing the role of living beyond your means in aging or the difference between "four-legged" and "no-leg fats." Readers looking for a quick fix will benefit less than those who follow the recommendations that require focus and commitment. As Baby Boomers age and books about turning back time increase, Roizen's will remain a standout.--Barbara Mackoff--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
