The RealAge Makeover: Take Years off Your Looks and Add Them to Your Life
Michael F. Roizen
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 1764
Dr. Michael Roizen hopes to discover a cure for the common birthday. The
author of the bestselling book RealAge and Oprah guru, Roizen
translates groundbreaking medical research into a series of calculations
and choices that promise to reduce age-linked symptoms and diseases.
The
RealAge Makeover begins with a self-test of 132 health factor
questions that compare your calendar age with your "real age"--based on
healthy habits plus heredity, he rounds up the usual suspects (sun
exposure, sleep patterns, good fats) as well as the unusual (the kind of
chocolate you eat, the number of nagging unfinished tasks, your catsup
consumption).
Although Roizen flags heredity, he focuses on the three key
factors of aging: arteries (heart attack, stroke, memory loss), immune
systems (prostrate and breast cancer), and environmental stresses (lung
cancer, STDs). He offers a sliding scale of difficulty in his "younger
every day suggestions." Whether talking about stress, diet, or disease,
Roizen offers case examples and subtle and engaging strategies such as
describing the role of living beyond your means in aging or the difference
between "four-legged" and "no-leg fats." Readers looking for a quick fix
will benefit less than those who follow the recommendations that require
focus and commitment.
As Baby Boomers age and books about turning back
time increase, Roizen's will remain a standout. --Barbara Mackoff
