The Anti-Aging Reference book

With medical information doubling every three and a half years, life spans of 110 to 125 years may soon be a reality.

Physicians Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman, pioneers in this brave new world of anti-aging medicine, combine cutting-edge research and the latest medical breakthroughs on longevity, with practical ways for integrating this information into your daily life-how you can live it longer, better, and healthier-to create the most comprehensive anti-aging reference book on life extension in print today.  

This reference book will give you a clear understanding of the biological processes involved in aging, the ten key body systems where decline first begins, and the culprits largely responsible for tipping the clock: vitamin and mineral deficiencies and diminishing hormone levels. Learn how to weigh the pros and cons of hormone therapy, naturally stimulate your hormone production, replenish your nutrient stores, strengthen your immune system, nourish your body, burn fat and build lean muscle, revitalize in your sleep, and maintain a youthful mind and spirit.  

Featuring a longevity test to identify how old or young you really are, and the personal life extension programs of more than two dozen anti-aging specialists, The Anti-Aging Revolution is the essential resource for anyone who wants to learn how their bodies work, how they age, and what they can do about it.

The Only Anti-Aging Reference Book You'll Need

There are 6 sections to this wonderful book.

Section One deals with the theories of aging and ends by delving into the various body systems that are affected by the aging process.

Section Two goes into the endocrine system. Entire chapters are devoted to growth hormone, melatonin, oestrogen, testosterone and thyroid hormone. The authors give us the facts on how these hormones affect or are affected by the aging process. Anti-aging supplementation is mentioned, but the authors made no attempt to "sell" anything.

Section Three deals with anti aging nutritional supplements. The list is quite exhaustive and make a very good reference for anyone considering supplementation. Here again, the reviews are quite balanced. No "miracle" nutrients and contraindications are mentioned as well.

Section Four deals with lifestyle factors in anti-aging. Topics include diet, detox, exercises, anti-stress tips, skin care and protection from pollutants. A lot of unsurprising, unsensational yet sound advice here.

Section Five gives us insight into what some health gurus do to stay fit and healthy. It won't be easy for any of us holding a fulltime job in the city to follow. There is also mention of stem cell research and other cool stuff that will be coming our way soon.

Section Six provides a glossary and some references as well as a directory of anti-aging resources.

The greatest thing about this book, is that it is "scientifically" written by 2 doctors who live up to their professional training. Aimed only at informing and educating the reader, it provides nothing sensationally pro this or anti that. If you can only afford one book on this topic, buy this one.
