Why not live at 60 feeling like you did at 35?

Thousands of Americans are younger today than they were five years ago. How is that possible? By following the specific recommendations that reverse aging in Dr. Michael Roizen's bestselling book RealAge®: Are You As Young As You Can Be?, people who were previously much older than their chronological age have now taken up to twentynine years off their biological ages. Since that first publication, more than 10 million people have taken the RealAge® test in one form or another, and thousands of people have thanked Dr. Roizen for helping them make simple changes in their lives — changes that have made them healthier, younger, and more vibrant.

In the last several years, Dr. Roizen and his team have learned much more about the aging process. The RealAge® Makeover makes sense of recent critical medical findings — mportant new research on inflammation in your arteries, stress reduction, chronic disease management, hormone replacement therapy, and other choices you can make to keep aging at a distance. You’ll also find the latest on vitamins and other supplements, which are age-reducing, which are aging, and which ones to avoid if you are taking certain medications. Roizen then offers more than seventy ways to reduce or even prevent 80 percent of the diseases that make you feel older. For example, coffee or the right kind of chocolate in moderate amounts can help reduce inflammation, preserving your arteries, joints, and memory. But the wrong choice can lead to needless aging and loss of energy, such as taking too much Vitamin A. And The RealAge® Makeover tells you how much (in years) each choice is worth so you can make the choices that are meaningful to you.

More potent than any statistic or finding are the personal stories interwoven throughout — success stories from readers who followed the RealAge program, became biologically younger, and are living happier, healthier lives. With this book, readers have more opportunity than ever to turn back their biological clock to look, feel, and actually be many years younger.

Join the RealAge® Revolution and give yourself a RealAge® Makeover!

Synopsis:

The bestselling author of RealAge has more ways to turn back the clock and get a new lease on life.

Thousands of Americans are younger today than they were five years ago. How? By following the specific recommendations that reverse aging in the bestselling book RealAge: Are You as Young as You Can Be? People who were previously much 'older' than their chronological age have taken 10, 15, up to 24 years off of their biological age. It's been called The RealAge Makeover.

Almost daily, there are news items about ageing or age-related disease. One food is found to increase the risk of heart disease, while another has been found to decrease it. In The RealAge Makeover, Dr Roizen makes sense of recent critical medical findings. Plus he offers steps that will reduce or even prevent 80% of the diseases that make you feel or be older. Roizen believes that if you are well informed, you can control your genes to a very large degree. For example, just eating the right chocolate or drinking a little coffee can help you reduce inflammation dramatically and preserve your arteries, joints, and memory. But the wrong choice can lead to needless aging and loss of energy. The RealAge Makeover tells you how much (in years) each such choice is worth. Why not live at 60 feeling like you did at 35?

For that extra inspiration, readers' personal success stories are interwoven throughout the book. They followed the RealAge program and became younger biologically and are now living happier, healthier lives.

o Aimed at those getting older and those who want to preserve their youth.

o The RealAge Makeover unifies all aspects of ageing, explaining the relative impact of the behaviours that age us and providing a numerical guide for age reduction. The basis of the RealAge program is that certain foods and behaviours can make you older or younger, and it offers a range of age-busting strategies for a healthier, younger body.
