Review

As people age, their doctors put them on more medicines, which can have toxic side effects. This book uses the science behind healthy ageing to show you how you can prevent life-threatening diseases without medicines. I learned a lot from its Anti-ageing Action Plan about how to correct hormonal deficiencies and take good care of myself.―Donald W Light, co-author of The Risks of Prescription Drugs and Professor of Comparative Health Care, University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey

As a doctor who specialises in helping older people stay well I can recommend The 10 Secrets of Healthy Ageing. Getting older doesn't mean an inevitable decline and this book will help you understand how to age well. Changes in nutrition and lifestyle can keep your cells working at a healthy level much longer than they would otherwise and that can help you avoid chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and heart disease. The book gives you the information and understanding you need to build your own nutritional strategy.―Dr David Beales FRCP MRCGP DCH DRCOG Dip Psych, GP with a special interest in Behavioural and Elderly Care Medicine, author and joint editor of Community Care of Older People
