Publisher's Note
Dr. Slobody, a former president of the New York Medical College and currently a vital 85 years old, has written what is being respectfully referred to as the "bible" of the anti-aging movement at a time when science, as well as the general population, is finally taking the anti-aging movement seriously. Dr. Slobody has been an advocate of the anti-aging movement for over 40 years. Now science is making amazing progress every day on this front, and Dr. Slobody has distilled that knowledge into a clear, sensible presentation of the necessary steps toward a longer, happier, "best-is-yet-to-come" life. The Golden Years tells us that, as we approach 50, our body starts to change, a process characterized by our immune system beginning to break down. The agents of destruction are called "free radicals" and their specialty is the deterioration of body cells and tissues. Our mission as the caretakers of our bodies is to fight off these agents and, hence, slow down the aging process. How? By following Dr. Slobody's 12-Step Anti-Aging Plan, you can strengthen your natural protective and regenerative systems by providing and promoting the anti-free radicals - agents that are not usually as strong and effective as we age. Through proper nutrition, exercise of body and mind, and proper supplementation - as set forth in The Golden Years - you can customize a plan to fit your individual needs.
Lawrence Slobody, M.D., prescribes a 12-step plan for making the Golden Years happier, healthier--and longer. In easy-to-understand terms, his new book presents a comprehensive approach to the fight against aging. Dr. Slobody, a former president of the New York Medical College and currently a vital 85 years old, has produced what is being referred to as the "bible" of the anti-aging movement. Science is finally taking this movement seriously, making progress every day in this area of study, and Dr. Slobody has distilled that knowledge into a clear presentation and guide that reveals the "why's" as well as the "how's" of proper nutrition and exercise. The book, especially its revolutionary anti-aging diet and menu plans (a 15-day guide for 1200, 1800, and 2400 calorie diets), constitutes a total health plan involving nutrition, supplementation, and exercise of both body and mind.
