Who wouldn't like to stay young as long as possible and even partially regain lost youth? At long last, it's possible. The fountain of youth is no longer a myth. Scientists have discovered the most basic reasons behind the aging process and amazing simple ways to slow it down or reverse it.
In Stop Aging Now! Jean Carper, the bestselling author of Food -- Your Miracle Medicine, has written a breakthrough, cutting-edge book documenting that the ravages of aging are not inevitable and, in fact, can be prevented or reversed. Written in Jean Carper's lively and compelling style, Stop Aging Now! reveals how you can combat aging, as well as cancer, heart disease, immune dysfunction and other age-related diseases, by taking specific vitamins, supplements and herbs and eating an antiaging diet.
Stop Aging Now! is based on hundreds of trail-blazing studies by scientists from prestigious institutions, including Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health, who are discovering the incredible truth about the aging process: that much of it is not inevitable, and that what we call "normal aging" is actually often due to unsuspected deficiencies that can be readily corrected by taking antioxidant vitamins, minerals, herbs and food chemicals.
Such "youth potions" can dramatically slow aging at any time of life and can even turn back the clock for people in their sixties, seventies and eighties. These antiaging potions are not only remarkably safe at effective dosages, but easily obtainable; they are in your food, in your vitamin bottle and in your health food store.
In this exciting, groundbreaking guide organized in an easy-to-use format, you will find out exactly which antiaging supplements to take every day and in what quanities, to forestall premature aging and regain vital functions. For example, leading scientists have discovered that:
- vitamins and minerals can rejuvenate immune functions, restoring youthful resistance to infectious diseases and cancer
- certain vitamins can prevent and reverse memory loss and other signs of "senility"
- herbs, such as ginkgo, can revitalize the circulatory system and brain functioning
- natural antioxidants in foods and supplements can prevent clogged arteries, heart attacks and general bodily deterioration
- many unfamiliar but readily available food chemicals promise to stretch life expectancy and preserve or restore youth and vitality
With Stop Aging Now!, Jean Carper, nationally syndicated columnist and leading authority on health and nutrition, proves that everyone, at any age of life, can take action to slow down or reverse the aging process.
Comment: Even though the book is not current, the recommendations are still on target.
