Do some foods accelerate aging and others reverse it? Science says yes! Dr. Michael Roizen, whose number one bestseller RealAge showed Americans how to reverse aging by changing their lifestyle choices, and Dr. John La Puma have developed an authoritative antiaging diet plan that will help you live life to your youngest. The RealAge Diet examines the food-related factors that multiple studies have indicated can cause you to age faster than you should.

Just as in RealAge, there is a groundbreaking test to discover how your eating habits affect your RealAge. Once you know your biological age, you can make yourself younger by trying some of the fifty-one food choices and strategies that are age busters. Whether you are eating in or eating out, you will find simple guidelines that make age reduction easy. Cooking tips, two weeks of meals you can prepare in ten minutes or less, and twenty fabulous recipes make your RealAge younger with every bite. And with the easy-to-follow "Hourglass" diet, you'll have a handy visual reminder of what you can do to make aging stand still and to keep young longer.

Drs. Roizen and La Puma start with the simple premise "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it." The RealAge Diet examines the principles of sensible weight loss and weight management. The authors evaluate the bestseller diets and show you which help you lose weight and which cause needless aging. Even better, they tell you how to modify the bestseller diets to make them more age-reducing.

This is not another diet book: if there is one thing you will learn from this book, it is that if you eat foods that are high in nutrients and low in calories, your body is going to be healthier and younger than you ever dreamed possible.
