I'll admit, I was first a little off-put by buying a book by a former playboy centerfold. However, that being said, that is my problem. I also believe if Ms. Antonaccio had a different title/different book cover, she would get many more reviews. I don't know how many books she has sold. However, that is part of her identity and who am I to really judge her, you know? I was looking on Amazon.com one day for anti-aging books and hers came up.
Getting that out of the way, let me just say Helena Antonaccio looks INCREDIBLE, almost too good to believe...for past 50. She claims to have had no plastic surgery.
I'll just say this - she is a living testament to clean living, no smoking, drinking, taking vitamins, doing facial exercise, exercise/walking/ballet every day, organic diet. She also interestingly follows the diabetic diet, though she herself is not diabetic. She feels this is a very, very nutritious diet. She also says her mother had diabetes. She also takes a very large amount of anti-aging vitamins and wears sunblock at ALL times (except when sleeping).
I believe the reason she looks SO INCREDIBLE (I swear in most pictures she doesn't look a day over 35, in some pics, 30) is because she began taking care of herself at 18...no folks, she didn't start at 30 or 40 for these daily things she does, she started at 18.
Also, I think it is worth commenting that she has a very beautiful, positive outlook on everything. She mentioned several times how being in nature and around animals revives her spirit and makes her feel good.
Beautiful lady, inside and out.

I know Helena's attributes have not been enhanced, air brushed or in any way altered by hocus pocus. She is positive, dedicated to family, friends, her laughter is infectios. She is as she is because she takes time to keep up her routine of exercise, nutrition, positve thinking, and not let the small stuff get to her. How do I know all this to be true? Because I've know her my whole life. We
shared common intrests in skincare and health; as teens. Information on nutrution was scarce then. Now we know how nutrients react with our bodies in positive ways. Her advice is the real deal. If you are willing to nurture mind and body, and spirit,
let your self have fun and relearn to laugh, many signs of aging can turn around at the best, at the least you will become more fexable, balanced, and find joy and beauty in the world around you. HELENA IS NOT a beauty guru, she offers sound advice, she is not trying to sell you some fancy product, a fairytale in a jar that promises a miracle in rejuvination.
