 Women (and men, too!) have the power to slow, stop, and even reverse the aging process. They can stay young and healthy longer, feel vibrant and fully alive at any age, and stretch the middle years farther than ever before. Aging no longer means “growing old.” We are living longer and enjoying life more as we progress into our 50s, 60s, and beyond. But, we can do even better if we adopt a few simple habits.
Living a full and healthy life doesn’t rely on your genetic make-up any where near as much as it does on how you live your life. You can live long, vibrantly, and passionately. You can stretch your life expectancy, ward off sicknesses, and streamline your body no matter what age you are. You can feel vibrant, vital, energized, and alive regardless of whether you are 20-years-old or 90-years-young.
Here then is a celebration of you and your body in all its stages: AGE-PROOF YOUR BODY (McGraw-Hill, September, 2006). Step by step, nationally recognized nutritionist Elizabeth Somer leads you to increased vitality in your habits and life’s outlook –– your inside and outside –– in an easy-to-read book, based on the latest research and cutting-edge studies. Finally, a resource you can trust that will guide you to well-being for a lifetime!
If you follow the simple guidelines in AGE-PROOF YOUR BODY, you can expect to:
- Decrease your risk for all age-related diseases, from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension to cataracts, osteoporosis, memory loss, and loss of libido.
- Improve your immunity and resistance to colds, infections, and disease.
