Anti-Aging Books

This is a great gift idea for anyone who is feeling down about aging. The book will help them realize how growing older is a beautiful thing, with so many things to look forward to.

I received this as a gift for my birthday and the title is a bit of a misnomer as I think it is more a beautiful little book of quotes on living and experience and the love of life. This compliation lead me to Ms. Crowe's other complilations all of which are great gifts and nice to have around for a new viewpoint from time to time.

This book is full of inspirational wisdom, touching sentiment (NOT sentimentality) and beautiful illustrations. It would make a lovely book for anyone feeling the press of time. I keep mine on my desk, where I can turn to it often.

thsi book is a such a pleasure - I have given it as a gift and it was just perfect. Beatiful Art to compliment beautiful quotes all on why it is so wonderful to have birthdays.

Count Down Your Age is a very practical and down to earth guide written by two health experts who haven't lost their sense of humor (very important!) on the most important ways that we need to take care of our bodies, our minds and our souls.

It is packed with information about everything from how to get better sleep, stay connected with others, maintain a life purpose, what supplements should I take, how to interview your doctor, and exercise and nutrition. The point of the book is that all these aspects combined can help you live longer.

I particularly enjoyed the section about the importance of sleep and social connections for physical and mental health since I think these areas don't get enough attention. Many health books simply talk about what to put in your body but this book talks about how to manage your life in addition to what to do with your body.

I also found the section on supplements helpful since I often go to the health food store and don't know where to begin. Also helpful was the section on what to look for in a doctor, how to interview them and what questions to ask. Most importantly, CDYA helped me put together a personalized plan that worked for me and didn't have a lot of unnecessary steps, expense or time investment.

"Count Down Your Age" takes a personalized and wholistic view of health, from an everyday perspective. First, there's the "antiaging test" in the beginning of the book [...]

Then the book offers thoroughly researched and practical plans on lifestyle, nutrition, exercise and medical care.
The plans speak to both vegetarians and nonvegetarians. For me, the most difficult part of the diet plan is that it recommends eating no refined sugar, which would mean no ice cream and cookies. The easiest part of the diet plan is that it recommends eating whole grains, veggies and fruits, which we love. It also recommends eating fish, and YES there is a thorough evaluation of the issue of mercury contamination in fish. One interesting idea about the exercise plan is that we should take up new exercise classes or routines once in a while, in order to keep our minds and bodies sharp and learning new things. Then there are detailed instructions about how to get really effective sleep each night, what affects our sleep, and how to eliminate things which interfere with good sleep. I love about the book that it emphasizes how important it is to laugh, yes LAUGH. Ha, ha ha!!!

The books authors first reveal their own past mistakes and bad habits, and the fulfillment of becoming healthy and strong and shedding those bad habits (and shedding pounds and years!). I like this part, because Dave Bunnell is my father, and I have seen the positive changes in his lifestyle and attitude which inspire me to live better and take better care of my family. You don't have to know the authors to be inspired by the section on their personal lives, but if you have worked in the computer or publishing industry, you can read how Dave used to live during the MacWorld days, and how he's changed. It's inspiring to see how a man approaching sixty can knock off 15 years of his life, but moreso how he changed his definition of success from "having it all" to living well, peaceful and in good health.

This book is incredibly handy as a ready-reference for getting and staying on track with being healthy. It's easy to read and digest the information and takes a refreshing (and inspiring) point of view from two authors (one of whom is a heart surgeon, the other is a famous tech guy) who were overweight and out of shape at the peak of their careers. They turned their health around later in life, which reinforces the fact that it is truly never too late to start (it's intimidating in my late 30s, much less when you're 50+!).

I found the section on nutrition especially helpful as a guideline for the best anti-aging foods and supplements to take. I plan to rip that page out of the book and keep it on my fridge as a handy grocery shopping list.

The other section I really liked is on medical care. I am a firm believer in being proactive about your health, and the authors give excellent tips on conversations to have with your doctor, when to take which tests, how to keep track of your medical records, etc.

What I liked most overall is that this book is easy to understand and the health tips are easy to do. To me, most health books read like a high school biology class (I'm bored and nothing sinks in) or are too stringent (I feel set up to fail by cheating on Day Two). This book is realistic, in that it educates and empowers you to make better lifestyle choices over the long haul, and the authors are honest in what it took for them to change--what a breath of fresh air that is.

In a nutshell, I highly recommend it for anyone of any age with the desire to get or be healthy ... the added bonus is feeling and looking better than ever. Got compliments one week after starting the plan :)

This book has definitely helped in my search for good health. Dr. Mindell has done it again! The information he gives is straight forward and simple. I have read most of Dr. Mindell's books and have found this man knows what he is talking about. I have personnally met Dr. Mindell on several occassions and this book is an example of the tremendous knowledge that he has discovered in his research. If any of the readers of this book would like to Dr. Mindell, I can arrange this by you contacting me via e-mail.

This is an indispensable reference to me in my role as holistic healer. The 100 odd substances listed here are a good recipe for health, even if you just take at least 30 of them on a regular basis (many of them are found in fresh fruits and vegetables). They're presented in a very user-friendly way, giving the foods in which you're most likely to find them and listing the conditions for which they may be helpful. There are additional chapters about specific vitamins & minerals for men and women, plus an extensive index. I hope that the author will include anti-aging hormones such as DHEA and Pregnenolone as well as Colloidal Silver in the next edition.

Earl Mindell burst on the nutrition scene a couple of decades ago with his first book, Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible. It was a huge success -- and desrvedly so for it undoubtedly saved many lives and relieved much unnecessary suffering by introducing people to the power of vitamins and minerals to prevent and heal many illnesses. The latest version is entitled Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century. The various editions of Earl Midell's Vitamin Bible have taken away much of the mystery regarding nutrient supplements and improved the health of millions of readers. Now Dr. Mindell has written a book which specificallly adresses the role of vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances in preventing many of the deleterious effects of aging. It is a worthy companion to his Vitamin Bible and should be read -- and kept handy for reference -- by everyone, either for themselves or an aging family member. There is no magic to vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients -- they simply allow our bodies to perform the functions they need to perform in order to remain vigorous and healthy for many more years than we have come to expect.

I totally agree with the reader from San Francisco. This book is GREAT! Delighted that I found it. I am "mid-sixties", feel great, and fighting "aging" every step of the way! This book has sooo many answers-----it covers skin care, make-up suggestions--even goes into skin care products. Then, continues into foods, exercise-- well it covers everything for me. It is so full of good information. It is a big book, and a pretty one. I just love it---can you tell? And highly recommend it! Thank you Josephine Fairley and Sarah Stacey!

No Need to go anywhere else! Comprehensive, magazine-style reading; it is full of critical information and reaches beyond the beauty industry by speaking with health and well being experts from around the globe. I give the set to girlfriends as gifts. Needless to say, they are anticipated presents!

A great book that my wife and I discovered at a Spa. Wonderfully informative and enjoyable to read. Even as a male, I found good-to-know information. We're sending it to my mid-sixties mother who is going to be absorbed with it.

With so many products claiming superiority out there, the book's best feature is the objective evaluation of branded cosmetics.

A great book for anyone interested in not just beauty, but total and optimum health. Have seen nothing like in the States.

This is a truly working testament for self-renewal, no phony gimmicks or expensive drugs that don't even work, but a truly working physical-mental program that will transform you. Buy this book yesterday.

I've probably read more anti-aging books than most people, and The Rejuvenator's Bible is undoubtedly the most effective and authentic one yet. Everyone who values their body and personal well being should read this book. Nevermind escapism, read this book and truly help yourSELF.

As said by the New Evolution Quarterly, "Finally an anti-aging writer who makes authenticity a reality...More than a worthwhile read, this book is a real treasure." Tired of the death and dumbness on TV?--be sure to read this wonderful book and find out what real, natural rejuvenation is all about.

This is a must for blind who use dogs! when you are blind, you need your dog to be healthier than you. this book is not for blind poeple of course, but I found it helpful.

I've started using some of the recommendations on my 12 year old Golden & there is definately some improvement! (He seems younger now than he did a year ago).

A GREAT BOOK! Takes a week or two to start noticing improvements. Well laid out and concise.

No index at the back, so difficult to quickly reference info. However, book is well laid out so that once you're read it you have a good idea of where to find information.

Would be helpful if there was an "update" website - or some way of getting more current information - as science is always finding new information.

This book is a collection of centuries-old herbal secrets. Some of these secrets my mother has only heard whispered but never learned. I am sure that my own tight-lipped doctor uses them, because he is in his seventies, yet his skin has the texture of a thirty-year-old.
These formulae work. They restore health, youth, and vigor - the qualities that the Chinese doctors call "beautiful." The speed at which the restoration takes place is only inhibited by the initial state at which the user begins.

I'm amazed that these ancient formulas are so useful and work so well even today. Maybe it's because they have been used for so many generations. The ancient stories and backgrounds behind these formulas are very interesting, e.g., how some recipes were used by Emperor Guangxu and Empress Cixi. I recommended some hair rinse formulas to my friends and they really liked those recipes! Those mouthwash recipes are very helpful too. The recipes are easy to follow, with detailed ingredients, amounts, and preparation methods described. The explanations in Chinese medicine and scientific research are easy to understand. The book gives detailed references that are very convincing. It's a good resource about traditional Chinese culture too, such as those aromatics bags that were very popular in ancient China. It's almost unbelievable that ancient Chinese had developed so many comprehensive methods for beauty.

The replay value of this set is incredible. Every time I listen I learn something new, and I have found over time that the truths contained herein are things I start teaching to my family and friends.

The stories, the information, the completeness, the benefits are invaluable!

Hello,
This is without a doubt the most easy to follow, comprehensive, instructional health program for the mind, body and soul that my wife and I have come across.

We just played it on our stereo and in our car and just listened. It teaches the why's and how's in easy to understand terms. It even came with a supplement guide for us.

My wife and I have both lost weight and she's now down to the weight she was in high school. We both feel great and look way better too.

After listening to the program, we understand why we were both gaining weight before. We just made simple and easy adjustments to our diet and exercise routines. This program makes it that simple.

The program treats the mind, body and soul as a whole or complete being, we liked that. My wife says it's a complete approach for us and I agree. It sure worked for us!

We have nearly all of the Internal Dialogue Series too by Coleen House and they are great.

Thanks for products that live up to what is advertised about them!

Regards,

I have been teaching about nutrition and how to have good health for more than 20 years and I still picked up excellent information from Jay Williams' book! Anyone who takes the time to read through it will glean many valuable nuggets to improve their fitness. She mentions a cleansing system called Isagenix which I personally used and found to be extremely effective. I even wrote about my experience in [[ASIN:0964470683 Wake Uplive the Life You Love: Purpose Passion Abundance (Wake Up... Live the Life You Love)Her book is a gold mine if you are into health and fitness!
