Product Description

For most Americans, the Republic of Georgia is a largely unknown entity. However, the facts surrounding this country’s amazing rate of centenarians (individuals living longer than 100 years) are currently emerging. This book investigates the factors behind Georgia’s unusually high longevity rates—including dietary habits, natural resources, and other lifestyle factors—and focuses on four native plants used for thousands of years in traditional Georgian diet and medicines. Author Shaffer Fox provides both the traditional use of and the science behind the efficacy of these plants, indicating that they could quickly become big sellers in today’s nutritional supplement markets. This is a must-read for anyone looking to lengthen one’s life in a natural and healthy way

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise - very interesting!, February 27, 2005

By	WR (Illinois) - See all my reviews

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

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.

By	Bug (Indiana) - See all my reviews

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!
