Stop Aging Now! : The Ultimate Plan for Staying Young and Reversing the Aging
Process
by Jean Carper
Based on exciting new scientific findings from leading institutions, Stop Aging Now!
reveals the stunning truth: Much of what we call aging is not inevitable, but is needless
and can be prevented and reversed to a startling degree by supplements and foods. Indeed,
aging is often due to unsuspected deficiencies that can be readily corrected, and even
people in their sixties, seventies and eighties can turn back the clock and recover their
youth.
Leading scientists have found that:
 |
Vitamins can prevent and reverse memory loss and other signs of aging. |
 |
Vitamins and minerals can rejuvenate immune functions, restoring youthful resistance to
infections and cancer. |
 |
Antioxidants in foods and supplements can help prevent clogged arteries, heart attacks
and general bodily deterioration. |
 |
Many unfamiliar but readily available food chemicals can prolong life and preserve your
vitality. |

Real Age : Are You As Young As You Can Be?
by Michael, Md. Roizen, Michael F. Roizen, Elizabeth Anne Stephenson
(Contributor)
Your biological age may be a lot different from your chronological
age--for better or worse. Dr. Michael Roizen, a preventive gerontologist at the University
of Chicago who appears perennially in the "1,000 Best Doctors in the U.S."
listings, says that with the help of his RealAge program, you can reduce your biological
age by up to 20 years.
He's compiled a list of 100 health-related factors, among them tobacco
and alcohol use, diet, prescription and over-the-counter drug use, your parents' health,
even pet ownership and the highest educational level completed by your spouse, and worked
all these into a quiz to determine your "real age." If you've taken your health
for granted, be prepared for a shock. He then explains how to follow a personalized
age-reduction plan using a range of methods, from quick fixes (use a helmet while
bicycling), to moderately easy changes (avoid sun and radon exposure), all the way to the
most difficult changes (reduce the stress in your life). Emotional issues are given as
much attention as physical ones; Roizen says, for example, that seeing a psychologist to
help work through serious personal problems can reduce your chronological age by 8 to 16
years alone.
RealAge may appeal to Fountain of Youth seekers, but will be
especially useful for folks who are out of shape and too overwhelmed to start a fitness
plan, and for those who are understandably confused by the wealth of contradictory health
reports in the news. Dr. Roizen has done an excellent job of organizing and explaining
essential health information, from defining health concepts such as blood pressure (and
explaining how to lower it) to distilling facts about diet, supplements, and herbs. Far
from faddish, RealAge clearly presents only advice that's been proven effective in
clinical trials. This is preventive medicine at its best. --Erica Jorgensen

Grow Young With Hgh : The Amazing Medically
Proven Plan to : Lose Fat, Build Muscle, Reverse the Effects of Aging, Strengthen the
Immune System....
by Carol Kahn (Contributor), Ronald, Dr
Klatz
Aging is a disease, physician Klatz and science writer Kahn maintain,
as becomes more obvious every time medical science discovers another way to reverse the
effects of such severe age-associated afflictions as stroke and heart attack. They stress
the benefits of human growth hormone--HGH. Aging typically begins when the body's
production of HGH starts falling off, and it has been shown clinically and experimentally
that injections of HGH have helped aging people lose weight and increase muscle mass,
regain lost strength and endurance, resharpen memory and visual acuity, restore sexual
function, and even bring hair back where it had fled. Thus, the first half of their book.
The second consists of advice on finding an anti-aging doctor, hormone therapy, and
boosting natural hormone production through diet and exercise. In the epilogue, Klatz and
Kahn predict that in 55 years, "physical immortality will be a reality." Many
may scoff at that conclusion, but HarperCollins is betting a 150,000-copy first printing
that those bent on getting better, not older, will find what precedes it irresistible. Ray

Live
Now Age Later : Proven Ways to Slow Down the Clock
by
Isadore Rosenfeld
Dr. Rosenfeld's prescription calls for sound nutritional habits, exercise,
preventive health care and the latest medical information and pharmaceuticals,
especially hormone replacement therapies. Rosenfeld's goal it to arm readers
with knowledge so they will take of themselves and recognize and treat symptoms
as early as possible...there's straight talk about the major diseases and issues
related to aging: Alzheimer's, cancer, heart attack, osteoporosis, stroke,
arthritis, hearing loss, depression, insomnia, skin care, vision and dental
problems. The chapters on menopause, sexual dysfunction and prostate problems
are especially candid and helpful. Explaining each condition in unintimidating
language, he discusses symptoms, risk factors, treatments and defensive
strategies. What distinguishes this book from others aimed at the turning-50
crowd is Rosenfeld's ease in making medicine understandable, without
oversimplifying or condescending, and his lively optimism
