The Perricone Promise: Look Younger, Live Longer in Three Easy Steps
Nicholas Perricone
Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Rank: 583
For women seeking complexion perfection, Dr. Nicholas Perricone is the name
to know; actress Courteney Cox counts herself among his many devotees.
In
The Perricone Promise, he claims that his 28-day program will help
stop and even reverse the aging process, making anyone who follows his
advice "look and feel ten years younger." Perricone says the brain and the
skin both start out as the same embryonic tissue, so it follows that any
efforts aimed at improving one's complexion will also improve one's memory
and overall sense of well-being.
To this end, he recommends a
three-pronged approach: a very specific 28-day diet; supplements taken
morning, noon, and night; and his own line of "topical" cosmetics, all
aimed at boosting the body's levels of "peptides and neuropeptides." These
substances, according to Perricone, are not only the building blocks of the
skin's collagen, but an integral part of the functioning of the immune
system, and may prevent inflammation in the body that's associated with
such illnesses as arthritis and heart disease. Perricone's diet
sensibly includes a "rainbow" of fruits and vegetables and the liberal use
of herbs and spices, and shuns any foods browned or cooked at high
temperatures. But unfortunately, some of the food combinations sound less
than appetizing (typical snack: "1-2 ounces sliced turkey or chicken
breast, 3 olives, 3 strawberries, 8 ounces water").
His eponymous
supplements and cosmetics are also pretty pricey, but as far as
Perricone's fans are concerned, when it comes to putting the brakes on the
aging process, you get what you pay for. --Erica Jorgensen
