Summary: WOW What a great way to STOP AGING!
Comment: Jean Carper has done a wonderful job of relating what the medical profession and researh have proven to be that elusive prescription to the fountain of youth. I quite agree with the 9th reviewer here on Amazon.com has written in her review.
I have been on such prescription for about 20 years now so I am giving testimony to Carper's prescription. Everybody on the planet earth should read and implement the directions in this book because we should learn to live up to our fullest potential and staying healthy is necessary to do that. We have lost, prematurely, many of our great brains because they abused their bodies with bad food, booze, and poor mental and physical health.

Summary: A HELPFUL GUIDE ... AT A FRACTION OF THE LENGTH
Comment: Jean Carper's "Stop Aging Now!" is a mixed-bag: the useful information it imparts (which is more wittily and concisely expressed in the work of such nutritionists as Andrew Weil, for example) is deployed in such padded prose that by the time you finish reading it you are sure to have aged drastically! This book is repetitive in a way that seeks to arrogate authority by sheer volume: four hundred pages of maddening retreads and perverse recapitulations. It is as if it had been written by a nagging spinster schoolmarm for a not-very-bright ten-year-old child. That being said, it is well informed (at least)and is unlikely to harm anybody. For fifteen bucks, you could do a lot worse: a few packs of Marlboros, perhaps, or a family-size tub of Rocky Road.

Summary: BEST book on diet, supplements and
Comment: This book is a treasure chest of extremely valuable information on how to preserve your mental capabilities and to protect yourself from disease with the right diet and the right supplements and amounts of them. Did you know that people taking vitamin C or E supplements are shown in general NOT to develop Alzheimer's? Did you know that blueberries, strawberries and spinach are brain-savers? Did you know that you can control and possibly prevent insulin resistence by eating a low "glycemic index" diet. Did you know that eating foods equalling 5500 ORACs a day will protect your memory and motor control? (A cup of black tea brewed for five minutes contains 1200 ORACs.) Did you know that vigorous walking for an hour, five days a week will lower your risk of stroke by about half (p. 331), as will fruits and veggies and tea (p. 323)?
Jean Carper discusses the importance of Omega-3 oils in fish for pregnant women who want to optimize their children's mental capacities, as well as for the rest of us. She discusses the B vitamins, folic acid and the other, and their vital importance.
She gets down to specifics with doses to take and appropriate combinations.
I heartily recommend this book. If you buy only one book this year, buy this one.
The writing is energetic and enjoyable. The glycemic index and ORAC tables contain invaluable compilations for charting an optimal daily diet. I posted copies on my refrigerator door!
I've given this book to several people, all of whom cherish it.
