The Longevity Prescription by Robert N. Butler Pdf

The internationally revered, Pulitzer Prize-winning father of geriatric medicine offers a revitalizing plan for living a longer and better life. The Longevity Prescription outlines eight essential facets of longevity: exercise, nutrition, mental vitality, sleep, relaxation, love and intimacy, community connections, and medical care. Based on proven discoveries, the strategies in each of these areas stretch the proceeds of the "three-decade dividend," while delaying or eliminating chronic illness. With step-by-step guidance for formulating an action plan and adopting new habits and strategies, The Longevity Prescription also guides readers through special challenges, such as diabetes and cancer. A baby boomer turns sixty every 7.6 seconds, but many of America's graying millions approach the later years of life with fear and trepidation. Emphasizing clear-cut research findings that balance physical health with emotional well-being, Butler and his colleagues offer a definitive path to whole-life happiness.

The Longevity Code by Zorba Paster,Susan Meltsner Pdf

We're all interested in living a long life, but few of us are willing to sacrifice everything to attain that longevity. After all, what good is living an additional decade at the expense of enjoying the previous ones? In this remarkable book, Dr. Zorba Paster -- host of the public radio show Zorba Paster On Your Health -- takes a detour from the traditional negative, abstinent approach that addresses only physical factors. Instead, Dr. Zorba introduces us to the five "spheres of wellness" that encompass all aspects of life: the physical, of course, but also the mental, kinship/social, spiritual, and material spheres. He reveals well-documented research that indicates that you must address and balance all of these areas, and not just the physical, to achieve optimal longevity -- and also your greatest enjoyment of that longevity. Within each sphere, Dr. Zorba pinpoints the most threatening "busters" -- those lifestyle aspects that will, sooner or later, kill you. And for each buster, he recommends the most advantageous "boosters" -- habits that will counteract the buster and extend your life. Many of these boosters will come as a complete surprise. For example, even the most diet-conscious, performance-oriented athlete may be at risk for heart disease and stroke by ignoring all the other spheres: mentally, with chronic depression; socially, with limited, distant relationships; spiritually, with an uncaring attitude; and materially, with an unsatisfying, underappre-ciated job. To tailor this remarkable booster-and-buster system to you, The Longevity Code includes in-depth exercises to isolate your most urgent needs. Once you've identified the busters you must overcome, you canclip out the booster cards -- summaries of each of the 76 boosters -- to help you focus on your personal prescription for living a longer, sweeter life.

A Doctor's Prescription for Longevity and Survival by Vincent N. Cefalu Pdf

This book offers advice to people who would like to hopefully increase their longevity and have as much enjoyment and fulfillment out of life as possible. I present an honest and commonsense approach on how to remain as healthy as theoretically possible while keeping some credibility and satisfaction in life. I provide many recommendations that deal with real-life situations instead of fantasies and present conclusions based on my having personally performed over 1,500 autopsies and my own deleterious consequences of having developed atherosclerotic disease from being over four hundred pounds for over thirty years. In this book, I detail a very strict diet plan, the perfect diet, which I created, that resulted in my losing 272 pounds over a ten-month period and whereby my continued adherence has allowed me to be able to maintain this weight. However, I relate the many problems that I developed in following such a rigorous diet program and offer prophylactic advice to people electing to lose weight extremely fast so that they won't encounter the same problems. I also provide some very inexpensive and easy-to-prepare low-calorie recipes that I concocted, which are good appetizers and filler-uppers. In my usual witty, satiric manner, I discuss many dangerous drugs that should be avoided and mention several foods that should be eliminated from a person's diet, along with furnishing some of my own little homemade poems along the way. Through my experiences as having served as coroner, I disclose many hazards that exist in our environment, mention some simple things that people tend to forget that, too often, result in fatalities, and present my views of many of the over-the-counter products. By making overweight and diabetic individuals aware of certain physiological processes that are continuously occurring in our bodies, hopefully they would be in a better position to understand and interpret my suggestions. In brief, I have something to offer all my readers from the most radical--my diet plan--to the most realistic and conservative. In a nutshell, I lived through what I now advocate against, since I discovered too late what obesity could do to the human body.
