The New Anti-Aging Revolution: Stopping the Clock for a Younger, Sexier, Happier
You will give you a clear

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

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 Anti-Aging Zone
Barry Sears started the diet movement of the decade with the Zone's 40-30-30 eating plan (40 percent
carbohydrate, 30 percent each fat and protein). In The Anti-Aging Zone, Sears explains that he thinks aging
is not caused so much by depleted hormone levels but by a lack of communication among hormones.
It boils down to this: the vastly complicated hormonal action in humans is controlled by eicosanoids, what he
calls "super hormones." And eating in the way advocated by The Anti-Aging Zone, he argues, can help maintain
proper eicosanoid functioning, thereby preventing the litany of health problems associated with aging--both mental
and physical.
Controversially, Sears recommends a daily intake of just 1,200 calories for women and 1,500 for men, about 40
percent fewer than the U.S. RDA. It's also not just a diet plan, but a lifestyle plan, with guidelines for
meditation (to reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone) to improve brain longevity, and moderate amounts of
exercise, including strength training. Sears adds a solid guide to supplements (the essential, the important, the
exotic and expensive) and herbs, and a rundown of the mind-body-diet connection.

The RealAge Makeover: Take Years off Your Looks and Add Them to Your
Life
Dr. Michael Roizen hopes to discover a cure for the common birthday. Roizen translates groundbreaking medical
research into a series of calculations and choices that promise to reduce age-linked symptoms and
diseases.
The RealAge Makeover begins 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." As Baby Boomers age and books about turning back time increase, Roizen's
will remain a standout. - Barbara Mackoff

2. The Stress of Life
The Stress of Life reflects two decades of new
research into stress by Dr. Hans Selye.
"What is this one mysterious condition that the most different kinds of people have in common with animals and
even with individual cells, at times when much - much of anything - happens to them? This is a fundamental question
in the life of everyone; it touches closely upon the essense of life and disease. Understanding the
mechanism of stress gave physicians a new approach to the treatment of illness, but it can also give us
all a new way of life, a new philosophy to guide our actions in conformity with natural laws."
