Thousands of Americans are younger today than they were
five years ago. How is that possible? By following the
specific recommendations that reverse aging in Dr. Michael
Roizen's bestselling book RealAge®: Are You As Young As
You Can Be?, people who were previously much older than
their chronological age have now taken up to twentynine
years off their biological ages. Since that first
publication, more than 10 million people have taken the
RealAge® test in one form or another, and thousands of
people have thanked Dr. Roizen for helping them make simple
changes in their lives -- changes that have made them
healthier, younger, and more vibrant.
In the
last several years, Dr. Roizen and his team have learned
much more about the aging process. The RealAge®
Makeover makes sense of recent critical medical findings
-- mportant new research on inflammation in your arteries,
stress reduction, chronic disease management, hormone
replacement therapy, and other choices you can make to keep
aging at a distance. You’ll also find the latest on vitamins
and other supplements, which are age-reducing, which are
aging, and which ones to avoid if you are taking certain
medications. Roizen then offers more than seventy ways to
reduce or even prevent 80 percent of the diseases that make
you feel older. For example, coffee or the right kind of
chocolate in moderate amounts can help reduce inflammation,
preserving your arteries, joints, and memory. But the wrong
choice can lead to needless aging and loss of energy, such
as taking too much Vitamin A. And The RealAge®
Makeover tells you how much (in years) each choice is worth
so you can make the choices that are meaningful to you.
More potent than any statistic or finding are the
personal stories interwoven throughout -- success stories
from readers who followed the RealAge program, became
biologically younger, and are living happier, healthier
lives. With this book, readers have more opportunity than
ever to turn back their biological clock to look, feel, and
actually be many years younger.
