Overview

Don't just live longer—live better! The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer provides a road map to a longer, healthier life, advocating key strategies for the food, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments that will keep us going stronger, longer. With these strategies, you can win the battle against aging.
 
Living a long life isn’t only about measuring the number of years lived, but how we live them. Dr. Beth Traylor and nutritionist and weight loss expert Jonny Bowden provide recommendations that will keep you strong, healthy, energetic, and active with every decade of your life. These methods—all backed by the latest research and scientific studies—are easy, yet work anti-aging miracles. There’s no better time to start than now.

You’ll learn how to rein in "The Four Horseman of Aging":

1. Free radicals, which cause oxidative damage that wear you down from the inside out;
2. Inflamation, the “silent killer” that is a factor in almost every degenerative disease;
3. Glycation, a process that is implicated in many of the diseases of aging
4. Stress, which can cause more damage to your overall well-being than you think.

The book includes fitness tips for your body's "key players"—the heart, brain, bones, muscles, joints, immune system, and hormones. More and more studies are proving that we can strongly influence how long and how well we live. This fully revised and updated edition offers the smartest program for living a longer, healthier, better life.
