You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You)
Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz

Free Press, 2007

You: Staying Young

+ BABYBOOMER
+ You Staying Yound

Very informative. I found a lot of useful information and it made me rethink some of the choices I have made. Some of the drawings are verybasic, but cute. It helped keep the book from being too "text bookish". It was a very "easy read". None of the chapters were too long, which can be a problem ...
  
  











  



  
Reverse the Aging Process Naturally: How to Build the Immune System With Antioxidants--The Super-nutrients of ...
Phd. Gary Null

Villard, 1993

Title caught my attention

The title caught my attention first. I own five or six of Gary Null's books. When I find another of his books that looks good I by it. It reads like a text book, it is very dry. The information is not new. It is a short book, good as a reference unless you are a nutrition nut. Sadly in this ...

I love this book so much. It's full of information the average person can easily put to use every day. It's written in a way that's straight-forward and easy to understand.

Live Now, Age Later: Proven Ways to Slow Down the Clock
Isadore Rosenfeld

Grand Central Publishing, 2001

Great Information in a Great Format!

+ Great book and Author

After reading some of the online reviews, I was a bit skeptical but had to read the book out of curiosity. I am a medical information specialist and consider myself extremely well informed. Still, Dr. Rosenfeld managed to come up with things I'd not read elsewhere and I was able to immediately ...

Highly recommended reading

+ Almost 5 Stars

I wasn't particularly interested in this kind of reading. However, since I received this book as a gift, I felt I had a duty to at least have a quick look at it. So I flipped through some pages... Surprisingly, I immediately found a few chapters that caught my attention... After jumping from one ...
  
  











  



  
Secrets of the Superyoung
David Weeks

Berkley, 1999

Great stories for people who can heed the call

David Weeks does a great job of searching out the superyoung and finding similarities among them. He also updates you on all the myths of aging that have been blown sky high by research in the last 10 years. The most powerful statement in the book came from an interview, "WHo says that our ...

The Food Pharmacy: Dramatic New Evidence That Food Is Your Best Medicine
Jean Carper

Bantam, 1989

Way ahead of its time

+ Food as Medicine

I bought this soon after it was published in 1988 after hearing Jean Carper interviewed, and it has been a mainstay of my health reference library ever since. The recent flood of studies on the health benefits of various foods has only served to confirm Carper's basic premise: that foods are ...
