Slow disease and fight the aging process. Before its takeover by Soviet agriculture and Western lifestyle, the republic of Georgia was well-known for its population of healthy centenarians. The Georgian longevity paradox was a phenomenon that attracted and mystified researchers for decades. Now, the exciting facts about Georgian longevity are finally revealed in 100 & HEALTHY. Using modern research methods, author Shaffer Fox thoroughly examines the traditional Georgian lifestyle, as well as the unique and powerful plant medicines that protected the Georgians from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, brain degenerative disorders, depression, and obesity, among many others. 100 & HEALTHY provides a detailed and life-changing description of the Georgian art of living a longer, healthier and more youthful life.

This review is from: 100 & Healthy: Living Longer with Phytomedicines from the Republic of Georgia (Paperback)

I had used (with much success) a nutritional product the author of this book developed. This led me to buy a copy of his book to learn more about one of the nutrients I am taking. Everything about this book was a very pleasant surprise. I never thought that a health book could be so interesting. I've now read it twice, but I still pick it up and read a few pages just for fun. This book is full of interesting information about our bodies, diseases and aging. It makes science understandable. This is a very good book!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: 100 & Healthy: Living Longer with Phytomedicines from the Republic of Georgia (Paperback)

After reading this book,I became intrigued with the authors research. I remember seeing the commercials for a yogurt company years ago about people living for mamy years and being productive into their late 80's. I investigated where I can purchase some of these wonderful herbs.I am 67 years old and have a chronic back problem, I started using Rhododendron Caucasicum and am now enjoying a pain free existemce.This book was written in a very clear and understanding manner. Thank you Mr Fox.

100 and Healthy is a book that should be read by anyone who is interested in improving and maintaining their quality of life. As someone entering middle age, I have many concerns about my health. This book provides an easy-to-understand description of plant medicines and how they can help us improve our quality of life. The research is documented with over 850 references. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down!
