BelievableSeems to be well researched and very believable. By that I mean, everything the authors say makes sense to me and I can see how the types of foods and supplements you put into your body would affect aging.I haven't yet tried anything from the book, but I will be giving this another read and try out some stuff. It won't hurt, and who knows, it could actually help me look younger without having to go under the knife. Bonu

Excellent in-depth resource for change
Excellent source of up-to -date information on general health and in particular, nutrition. The amount of information is incredible and there is a lot of practical making-it- work advice for the ordinary person that makes the information actually usable. If you are looking for ways to change your lifecycle and deal with various physical concerns, this resource will help you do just that.

UK-Based Anti Aging through Food
United Kingdom resident focused Eat To Get Younger is exactly what the title suggests - choosing foods and supplements for those over 30 who want to looks and feel younger/better. Various aging ailments are discussed as well as how to counteract them naturally. The end of the book has recipes that can be used depending on age and problem. The book is well researched, annotated, but also supplement heavy (be prepared to drop quiet a few quid on pill bottles).The heart of the book is to reverse the damage done to the body at the genetic level: turning back on the genes that prevent cancer and other degenerative diseases. The first chapters discuss the processes involved and most common symptoms of aging. Remedies to the issues and ways to alleviate the body's symptomatic problems (e.g., inflammation) are given: meal plans, lifestyle changes, and suggestions for supplements. There is an emphasis on fish and seafood especially - of note to those with seafood allergies.The writing is very unsexy but also straightforward. Of note that the book is focused on anti-aging and not weight loss or dieting. It looks to be tailor written for thin women over their 30s who want a less medicinal/surgery approach to anti-aging. The typical 'current' health topics are discussed briefly: gut bacteria, enzymes, acidity of the blood, toxins, glycemic index, eating more greens, etc. The difference with this book than others on the market now is that the advice is broken down by aging problem rather than the science itself.Although the book is geared toward UK residents, there is a lot of universal information in here. Ingredient names are given for both North American and UK (e.g., rocket vs arugula), attesting to localization efforts of the authors/editors. The recipes are decent but poorly formatted and exceedingly hard to use on either computer, kindle, or ipad.In all, it is a good book on the subject and the diet is very flexible. On a more personal note, I don't agree with the egregious amount of supplements suggested (most studies suggest you do NOT use multivitamins any more as they are likely doing harm rather than good).Reviewed from an ecopy provided by the publisher.

The stuff family doctors ought to know
Informative, intelligent and accessible. The title makes it sound a little like a gimmick which is a shame because it's so far removed from 'get healthy quick' books. It's about good health at any age (adult) I've already seen a massive improvement of my gastric problems by following advice about gut health. Most of these problems have been caused by misdiagnosis and over prescribing by GPs.

Eat to get younger
A serious reading but informative book. Recipes a bit complicated for ordinary person as need to purchase many things. Good for health conscious people.
