Amazon.com Review
Dr. Michael Roizen hopes to discover a cure for the common birthday. The author of the bestselling book IRealAge/I and Oprah guru, Roizen translates groundbreaking medical research into a series of calculations and choices that promise to reduce age-linked symptoms and diseases. The IRealAge Makeover/I begins with a self-test of 132 health factor questions that compare your calendar age with your "real age"--based on healthy habits plus heredity, he rounds up the usual suspects (sun exposure, sleep patterns, good fats) as well as the unusual (the kind of chocolate you eat, the number of nagging unfinished tasks, your catsup consumption). Although Roizen flags heredity, he focuses on the three key factors of aging: arteries (heart attack, stroke, memory loss), immune systems (prostate and breast cancer), and environmental stresses (lung cancer, STDs). He offers a sliding scale of difficulty in his "younger every day suggestions." Whether talking about stress, diet, or disease, Roizen offers case examples and subtle and engaging strategies such as describing the role of living beyond your means in aging or the difference between "four-legged" and "no-leg fats." Readers looking for a quick fix will benefit less than those who follow the recommendations that require focus and commitment. As Baby Boomers age and books about turning back time increase, Roizen's will remain a standout. I--Barbara Mackoff/I

Product Description
pWhy not live at 60 feeling like you did at 35?/p pThousands of Americans are younger today than they were five years ago. How is that possible? By following the specific recommendations that reverse aging in Dr. Michael Roizen's bestselling book iRealAge: Are You As Young As You Can Be?,/i people who were previously much older than their chronological age have now taken up to twentynine years off their biological ages. Since that first publication, more than 10 million people have taken the RealAge test in one form or another, and thousands of people have thanked Dr. Roizen for helping them make simple changes in their lives -- changes that have made them healthier, younger, and more vibrant. P PIn the last several years, Dr. Roizen and his team have learned much more about the aging process. iThe RealAge Makeover/i makes sense of recent critical medical findings -- mportant new research on inflammation in your arteries, stress reduction, chronic disease management, hormone replacement therapy, and other choices you can make to keep aging at a distance. You'll also find the latest on vitamins and other supplements, which are age-reducing, which are aging, and which ones to avoid if you are taking certain medications. Roizen then offers more than seventy ways to reduce or even prevent 80 percent of the diseases that make you feel older. For example, coffee or the right kind of chocolate in moderate amounts can help reduce inflammation, preserving your arteries, joints, and memory. But the wrong choice can lead to needless aging and loss of energy, such as taking too much Vitamin A. And iThe RealAge/i Makeover tells you how much (in years) each choice is worth so you can make the choices that are meaningful to you. PMore potent than any statistic or finding are the personal stories interwoven throughout -- success stories from readers who followed the RealAge program, became biologically younger, and are living happier, healthier lives. With this book, readers have more opportunity than ever to turn back their biological clock to look, feel, and actually be many years younger. P Join the RealAge Revolution and give yourself a RealAge Makeover!

Very good information June 20, 2008
I really like this doctor who wrote the book. He always has very good information. I saw this book recommended in a magazine and it is very true to what was described. I do recommend this to anyone who is getting older and is interested in keeping themself youthful. Very interesting and helpful information.

Not as Described January 1, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful

The seller claimed this book was new. It was most certainly NOT NEW as described. I was giving this as a gift. It was read before and even had a big black marker swipe across the entire bottom. It was embarassing to give. Luckily it was my sister and I told her the seller claimed it was new. Obviously, we have a different definition of new. What a joke.
