Product Description
Product Description
How long you live can be influenced by what you eat, what you drink, the exercise you take, and the everyday lifestyle choices you make. Bad lifestyle choices -- a poor diet, excessive alcohol and a couch-potato outlook -- can knock years off your life expectancy. You don't feel a thing ! Yet. But don't let your calendar age or your visual age fool you. It's how old you are on the inside that counts. Whether you're a thirty-something who wants feel full of energy again, or a sixty-year-old who'd like to be able to keep up with the grandchildren, you too can turn back your body clock and add years to your life expectancy. That's the simple idea for a brilliant new Channel 4 series and tie-in book. It's fronted by Dr Una Coales, whose 'treat 'em mean' attitude guarantees that theshow will be guaranteed watercooler TV, with Dr Una set to challenge Gillian McKeith as our lifestyle guru of choice. The TVshow - 8.30 Tuesdays - takes a punter per week and puts them through their lifestyle paces. The bad news is they're all delivered a death age far younger than they would like.But the good news is that Dr Una and her team can do something about that by getting them to follow a simple 8-week diet and exercise regime. The accompanying book provides all the information you need to do the same. Throw out those bad habits, pick up some good ones and add years to your life. Including achievable exercise and nutrition regimes, and quizzes to help you pinpoint your medical hotspots, this is the book that shows you how to live longer.

This review is from: Turn Back Your Body Clock: The Guide to Changing Your Life and Living Longer (Paperback)
I saw the T.V show and bought the book. The guy who was on the show first was amazing. The book is not as great as its first show as it dawns on you that there is no miracle. (A fact that I did know, if I had stopped to think.)
The style and the layout of the book is first class. The information is well written and very scary. I had to put the book down at one point as all the talk of cancer was a bit depressing. Each chapter deals with apart of your life and diet. As a buyer of this type of book (The fact that I still have to buy them is due to my lack of will power not the books!),I was dissappointed in the section on exercise. I hate going to the Gym and am looking to build my own home verion of the plan (Home work out bible!) This is an excellent book that I recommend to all those who are serious about weight loss and health. For me the reason I dropped a star is because of the exercise section.

This review is from: Turn Back Your Body Clock: The Guide to Changing Your Life and Living Longer (Paperback)
Good book that links well with the program. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because in the program they work out how long someone has to live and in the book it does not have a questionaire to help you work out your life expentancy. this iw was I was looking forward to finding out.
A part from that this book it is good. Well layed out and easy to read. The small entry about organic food really let you konw the real reason why organic food is so much better for your and that processes and conventially farmed food can reduce your life expentancy and increase your chances of more disease.
