Anti-Ageing Zone: Turn back the ageing process in 6 weeks! - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Maintaining physical and mental performance with a revolutionary diet that helps prevent age-related diseases.

Sears explains that it is possible to reverse our ‘biological’ age (which is different to our ‘chronological’ age) if we look at our hormones and our diet. It is crucial to maintain the right balance of hormones in our bodies – ageing is not necessarily about the decreasing of certain hormones but rather how they effectively communicate with each other to maintain equilibrium.

The Zone is a revolutionary diet plan which advocates a lower intake of carbohydrates which convert to sugar creating a diabetic-like condition. If we eat more protein and monosaturate fats we enter the Zone of optimum metabolic function. This diet has been proven in preventing age-related diseases: heart disease and diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes largely occurs in older age).

Sears explores the activity of hormones as we age and gives a dietary plan (and supplement advice) to maintain peak performance:
· calorie restriction without hunger or deprivation
· insulin, cortisol, seratonin and eicosanoids
· oestrogen and the menopause
· testosterone as men and women age
· DHEA, melatonin – are these hormonal supplements merely hype?
· your thyroid gland and how it affects metabolism
· exercise and the anti-ageing Zone lifestyle ‘pyramid’

HAVE THE POWER TO REVERSE AGEING AT YOUR NEXT MEAL

More than a million people worldwide have already discovered the power of 'The Zone': a revolutionary diet which reduces the intake of bad carbohydrates and balances both hormone and insulin levels. Now Barry Sears has put together the ground-breaking 'Anti-Ageing Zone'to show us how to restructure our diet in order to keep us at our mental and physical peak and greatly reduce the risk of age-related illness.

Stress, illness and malnutrition can all take their toll on the body and the first casualty of protein malnutrition is the immune system. Although we cannot change our chronological age, we can reverse our biological age – tell-tale signs of ageing can be seen by monitoring the bod’s insulin levels, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, aerobic capacity, muscle mass and body fat, strength, temperature regulation and immune system. Food is the most powerful anti-ageing “medicine” of all and with 'The Zone' you can effectively limit the effects of time on your body.

It’s time to look at your diet and see which foods can actually pile on the years and which balance of nutrients can improve your longevity .
