Synopsis

For anyone over the age of thirty who is interested in maintaining health and vitality, this book is an invaluable resource. In a practical and easy-to-use style, it explains the aging process and show you how to develop an anti-aging program customized to your own needs. As it cuts through the hype, it provides current, factual information on how to optimize health and prevent age-related diseases.

Sherry Torkos and Farid Wassef, both respected pharmacists and authors, integrate conventional and complementary approaches and examine aging from a variety of perspectives: historical, medical, genetic and nutritional. They show the significance of diet, lifestyle and the environment to the aging process, and explore the research and validity behind supplements, programs and diets promoted as anti-aging therapies.

Breaking the Age Barrier goes one step further than most anti-aging guides: it’s interactive. By inviting readers to participate in a series of health-related questionnaires and surveys, it allows them to implement a customized program to increase their functional lifespan and prevent degenerative, age-related disease.
