Healthy Anti-Aging Resources

I have been immersed in Dr Gundry’s book ‘Diet Evolution’ for 2 days.
Dr Steven Gundry is one more highly qualified medical specialist who is on the prevention (not survival) wave.

Dr Gundry explains clearly how our genes work in relation to our need for food.  He explains why our genes have responded to our changed diets in our Western world, which has created so much chronic disease (heart disease, cancer, arthritis, strokes, diabetes). He advocates removing grains (eg flour and cereals) sugar and sugar substitutes from our diet, and to eat more raw food.

The book is optimistic – it is possible to trick our genes into reversing chronic disease.  Dr Gundry provides patient testimonials of people of all ages – some with obesity and some ‘normal’ weight.

Dr Gundry provides eating plans for each phase, as well as what I think is the most crucial – an eating plan for the rest of our life.

Dr Gundry recommends that we eat meat that has grazed on plant food (not factory fed grain) to ensure that we humans get all the nutrients we need.  You may be surprised to learn that we not only get protein from meat – plant food contains protein too. He also advises topping up with nutritional supplements and provides dosage recommendations.

This is a book for people who are serious about getting healthy for life and/or longevity because it does take dedication and willpower to change from our lazy habits.  But it is so worth it, because the people who have already made the change are not only enjoying true health, they have more energy and are getting more enjoyment from living.

They Live Longer by Harry Mouratidis, MSc and Dr George Price, FRCPC

Earlier this year, Harry Mouratidis asked me to review his book, They Live Longer – the secrets of healthy 90 year-olds. For anyone who is searching for the “elixir of life”, then this book certainly provides some answers.  Reading about people who are in the 90’s and 100’s and are still healthy, active and enjoying life is an inspiration.

One of the main stand outs of this book for me is that most of the wonderful youthful nonagenarians who were interviewed have an engaging attitude – and I believe that it is mainly the strength of their beliefs that have kept them youthful for their age.

As Harry states, synergy – the result of more than one factor certainly does have an influence.  A combination of a healthy diet, daily exercise, participating in their community and with their families, hard work, expectations, avoiding stress, being a master of your own destiny and positive thinking all does have an effect.

The authors back up the delightful wisdom provided by the interviewees with scientific research – which provides the reader with the knowledge to incorporate into their own life. Included are the 7 steps of THE MASTER LONGEVITY STRATEGY.

A review of the book “Breakthrough – Eight Steps to Wellness, Life-altering secrets from today’s cutting-edge doctors” by Suzanne Somers

When I began to read “Breakthrough” my head was spinning. There is so much valuable information here and I wanted to soak it all up. Suzanne has interviewed 17 medical professionals who are at the cutting-edge of long-term anti-aging medicine. The book has 450 pages of life-altering secrets and it is packed into small print. If you want to live the rest of your life in vibrant optimum health – then this book is a must-read.

To quote Suzanne ‘Knowledge is power’. To anyone (and really everyone) who would like to enhance their health knowledge, then this book will certainly fill in many gaps. We can all be responsible for our own true health once we become armed with knowledge.

For me I had never heard of new technologies such as nanotechnology, stem cells and energy medicine. I did not understand the significance of bioidentical hormone therapy. I now have a deeper understanding as to why nutritional supplements are so vital for our well-being. The people who are at the cutting-edge of this new technology are passionate about what they are achieving.

I strongly suggest that you get your own copy of Suzanne’s book and read it with an open-mind.

A review of the book More Health, Less Care by Peter J Weiss, M.D.

This small book is a huge gem. It is very refreshing to have a book written by a medical doctor who takes into account that people are not like cars; people do need to be treated holistically by the medical profession. We as patients also need to remove our dependence on the medical profession and the “magic” pills and to become responsible for our own health and well-being. Dr Weiss provides a guide line as well as examples to help us to do that.

Dr Weiss encourages us to take into account not only our physical health, but also our emotional and spiritual health as well, because as many of us are aware, they are all intertwined. He strongly suggests that we write our own “Personal Prescription for Good Health”. Dr Weiss encourages us to gather a team to support us with our health goals – not just to rely on a doctor but friends, wellness coaches, pharmacists and other health professionals. He also suggests having an open mind and to look at alternatives.

Dr Weiss does encourage people to take a multi-vitamin (which is an excellent start to a nutritional program). I would also recommend people to also begin taking advanced quality (nutriceuticals) multi-minerals, antioxidants and omega-3′s on a daily basis. A multi-vitamin on its own may be better than nothing but adding the others to the mix may make a greater improvement.

Currently I have three people in my life who may benefit from reading this book, but I think only one of them is ready to make a change for the better. I was thinking of this one particular friend in the part of the book where Dr Weiss discusses willpower. This book also provides guidelines for Wellness Coaches to help their clients achieve their health goals.

By the end of the book you will have a full understanding of the meaning of the title. I read this book in one and a half hours because I am familiar with the concepts. The concepts may be new for many people so it is really helpful that Dr Weiss explains the how-to and he also provides examples of how these concepts can be put into practice. This a book that I am very pleased to have in my toolbox.

If you are ready to write your own “Personal Precription for Good Health” or know someone who is willing to make a change, you may wish to purchase More Health, Less Care from Amazon.com. It could make a difference between living or dying.
