Sugar is the new controlled substance. More addictive than cocaine, the deadly white stuff has become the focus of health professionals worldwide who are highlighting the dangers of over-indulgence. And whilst we all know that a diet high in sugar can cause obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes, it is now also linked to a wide range of other serious health conditions, such as poor brain development in children, cataracts – even Alzheimer’s. Quite simply, our excess intake of sugar, from the spoonfuls we tip into our tea to the high levels of fructose hidden in packaged foods, is making us fat and sick, and is prematurely ageing our skin.

The book is packed with clear, actionable advice for building a strong immune system, losing weight, feeling younger and aging beautifully.” —Yahoo! Life How you age is up to you. And it’s easy to take charge.

This improves not only our life span but, more importantly, our health span—our quality of life and how we feel. Built on a series of lifestyle changes that energize the body and build and strengthen its immune system, The New Rules of Aging Well is based on ancient wisdom backed up by science: Eat less and practice intermittent fasting. Do 20 minutes a day of something meditative. Switch to gentler workouts, but move as much as possible. Unlock the incredible power of mushrooms. Grow your tribe. Walk barefoot when you can. The result: a rejuvenated you that looks great and feels healthy, happy, sexy, agile, and strong.

Dr. Edwin Lee's process of reversing tiredness will not only give you more energy and help you feel good, but it will also reduce the effects of aging. "In my practice, the most common complaint I hear is, 'I am so tired, but my primary care doctor says all my blood tests are normal.' My book lets you know what those medical reasons are for always feeling tired, and then explains how to increase your energy level," says Dr. Lee. Also in his book, Dr. Lee addresses the controversies of endocrinology (the medical field of hormones) and the areas of endocrinology that are yet to go mainstream. As a respected proponent and authority on hormonal balance and wellness, and as a leader in defining the future of regenerative and functional medicine, Dr. Lee has spoken at major medical conferences around the world. Being board certified in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism (with special courses in Regenerative and Functional Medicine), Dr. Lee knows all sides of the arguments about: adrenal fatigue, the use of T3 treatment in thyroid patients, the use of DHEA, the use of testosterone, the use of progesterone (aside from pregnancy), and the use of growth hormone - to name a few. Being one of the country's most progressive endocrinologists, Dr. Lee treats patients traveling to his office (The Institute for Hormonal Balance, DrEdwinLee.com) from around the world, while also serving as the assistant professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. In August 2012, Dr. Lee wrote Your Best Investment: Secrets to a Healthy Body and Mind. It is also available from Amazon.

How would you like to look and feel ten years younger in just ten weeks time? Studies show that Americans on the whole are aging faster than ever with conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease occurring increasingly earlier on in life—along with everyday age indicators like wrinkles and love handles. Now, Dr. Steven Masley, former medical director of the prestigious Pritikin Longevity Center® and a pioneer in anti-aging medicine, delivers a breakthrough plan to turn back the clock, inside and out—no matter what your age! Originally featured on the Discovery Channel, the Ten Years Younger Program is designed to combat the roots of accelerated aging. Poor nutrition, toxins in the environment, stress, and exposure to free radicals all make us old before our time, along with a little-known aging culprit: low- and no-carb diets. As Dr. Masley shows, low-carb diets deprive the body of anti-aging phytonutrients and fiber, accelerate osteoporosis, and damage brain cells. So the first secret of turning back time is: Eat your carbs! Each week, Ten Years Younger guides you through an age-busting combination of cutting-edge nutritional choices, relaxation techniques to reduce the aging effects of stress, and simple workouts designed to build lean muscle and trim and tone your body from head to toe. By following the plan for just ten weeks, you will: Achieve significant weight loss—up to twenty-five pounds Boost your energy levels Rejuvenate your skin Enhance brain function Prevent and reverse the onset of diabetes and heart disease Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure Improve sexual vitality With tools to help you assess how your body is really aging, weekly shopping lists and meal plans, and over 100 delicious recipes packed with antioxidants and anti-aging nutrients, Ten Years Younger is the healthiest, safest, and fastest way to take off the years—no surgery required!

"We have proof that aging doesn't have to be a downward slope. There's your chronological age-what the calendar says-and then there's your biological age, which is a measure of how well your body and brain are holding up for your chronological age. And there's mounting evidence that a healthy lifestyle can actually lower your biological age from the inside out. These healthy lifestyle changes-to your diet, exercise, and sleep habits and to how your deal with stress-are totally accessible to anyone and bring amazing results. How do we know? We combed the latest science and consulted with a dream team of advisors in health, fitness, nutrition and beauty to roll our findings into a simple Younger in 8 Weeks Plan. Then we tested it on 21 women ages 36 to 66 who'd been struggling with weight gain, lack of energy, loss of luster, and other common age-related issues."-
