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. Supplementation is mentioned, but the authors made no attempt to "sell" anything. Section Three deals with 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.

Great information

a doctors guide to anti-aging

This is a must read for anyone intrested in the new science of anti-aging medicine. Although fantastic the authors research and data are solid and irrefutable. Klatz is the worlds top practicing physician in this field and his prescriptions for longevity are thoughtful, well documented and effective. Ive read over 100 books in this area and stopping the clock is among the best.

A comprehensive simplified guide to staying young

While simplistic and less then scientific at times, this book gives a good coverage to the new rising anti aging supplements. The book is a good start up point for the reader to extend their personal research from. The text as said is less then scientific but then again what percentage of the readership would be able to follow it if it was. As common ground text goes this is quite a good one, giving you food for thought and some general understanding.
