About this title

From the Author:

Preface

Until my last birthday, I never thought about getting older. But suddenly, I needed reading glasses, and missing my one-hour walk meant stiffness in my joints. Who knew this could happen so suddenly? For the most part, I watch what I eat, and I've always been healthy. But I had to admit, I was getting older.

As a chef and dietitian, I've always advocated the preventative powers of food. I truly believed the connection between diet and health encompassed the aging process, so I decided to dig a little deeper. I researched free radicals, antioxidants, degenerative diseases, and more. I discovered that every day, around the world, thousands of scientists are unlocking extraordinary antiaging secrets in the most ordinary foods in our cupboards. From Tokyo to Helsinki and from spinach to nuts, fresh foods are being sliced and diced, mashed and minced, and placed not only on dinner plates, but also under microscopes. And in test tubes all over, the results are surprising and affirming. Food not only has the power to heal; it specifically has the potential to reverse many symptoms of aging. With that in mind, I wrote this book to translate the harvest of research to a feast of delicious recipes.

Stop the Clock! Cooking is an antiaging cookbook. I can't promise this book will prolong your life. But following the recommendations discussed in each chapter can result in benefits such as improvements in vision, memory, digestion, complexion, regularity, weight loss, and just plain old feeling great. It could change your life.

My clients and patients have included royalty and celebrities, men and women, young and old, healthy and ailing. Though they indulged in Stop the Clock! Cooking to varying degrees, they all agree the flavors are a delicious diversion. A wealth of diversity in world cuisine is reflected in the sumptuous recipes that follow. Let's get started on stopping that clock.
