5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Anti-Aging Reference Book You'll Need, December 14, 2005

By	Chan Joon Yee "Dr Chan" (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The New Anti-Aging Revolution: Stopping the Clock for a Younger, Sexier, Happier You (Paperback)

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.
