"A bit too much for me. Still reading it. My first book on the Kindle. Extremely informative. I think I would enjoy the hard copy more easier to skim through the too detailed parts."
"Wow.. what a book. The author claims he is going to live for 5000 years and he writes about how he is going to achieve that. If you are a health freak.. its a must read. I must say I learnt some very important stuff about eating and keeping up"
"The book was ok, unfortunately the good health information was mixed with some pseudoscience, and some of the stuff was very difficult to get a good bead on whether it is credible or not- even for researchers.
I did make some diet changes based on the recommendations in this book, and the overall effects have been very positive. Unfortunately, given how complicated the human body is, it appears impossible to me to find authoritative answers on a lot of things."
"I liked this book. It's heavy on science, but the format and writing style made it a bit easier to read. The authors have extremely health-focused lifestyles.
They emphasize regular exercise (walking 30-60 minutes a day); eating lots of green vegetables; drinking green tea instead of coffee; taking dozens of supplements; avoiding sugary foods, fatty foods, red meat, and foods with a high-glycemic load; managing stress (meditation); maintaining a positive outlook on life; and learning new things, especially about how to improve your own health.
They also recommend getting various medical tests to find out more about your body and how you can prevent diseases. This book is big on preventing health problems rather than treating them."
