ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
How would you like to look and feel ten years younger in just ten weeks time?
Studies show that Americans on the whole are aging faster than ever with conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease occurring increasingly earlier on in life—along with everyday age indicators like wrinkles and love handles. Now, Dr. Steven Masley, former medical director of the prestigious Pritikin Longevity Center® and a pioneer in anti-aging medicine, delivers a breakthrough plan to turn back the clock, inside and out—no matter what your age!
Originally featured on the Discovery Channel, the Ten Years Younger Program is designed to combat the roots of accelerated aging. Poor nutrition, toxins in the environment, stress, and exposure to free radicals all make us old before our time, along with a little-known aging culprit: low- and no-carb diets. As Dr. Masley shows, low-carb diets deprive the body of anti-aging phytonutrients and fiber, accelerate osteoporosis, and damage brain cells. So the first secret of turning back time is: Eat your carbs!
Each week, Ten Years Younger guides you through an age-busting combination of cutting-edge nutritional choices, relaxation techniques to reduce the aging effects of stress, and simple workouts designed to build lean muscle and trim and tone your body from head to toe. By following the plan for just ten weeks, you will:
Achieve significant weight loss—up to twenty-five pounds
Boost your energy levels
Rejuvenate your skin
Enhance brain function
Prevent and reverse the onset of diabetes and heart disease
Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure
Improve sexual vitality
With tools to help you assess how your body is really aging, weekly shopping lists and meal plans, and over 100 delicious recipes packed with antioxidants and anti-aging nutrients, Ten Years Younger is the healthiest, safest, and fastest way to take off the years—no surgery required!
USER REVIEWS
"In the intro, Dr Masley promises that his Ten Years Younger Program can help the patient reverse the aging process and be ten years younger in just 10 weeks. There are 3 pillars to this program. No surprises, they are 1. Diet, 2. Exercise and 3. Relaxation.
Dr Masley goes on to explain what causes accelerated aging. No surprises here either. They are oxidative stress, diet, metablic syndrome, physical inactivity, chronic stress, toxins, inflammation. Nothing new here. For people who have been reading health books, this chapter will sound like a boring repetition. However, I think Dr Mansely does a good job of debunking low carb diets.
Then, there is a chapter on "sweet 16" vitality foods. No surprises in the list - except for one - chocolates! Like many health gurus, Dr Mansley advocates supplements that apart from the usual things, include selenium, ginger and garlic.
Chapter 6 is all about fitness. I totally agree with his advice on strength training in addition to aerobic training. He also advises on practical, easy to do exercises like walking. It's a pity there's only one chapter.
Chapter 7 is all about relaxation. Very little information here except that sleep is important, meditate, be positive, share love and intimacy etc.
Next 2 chapters deal with detox and skin rejuvenation. Again, very simple advice that is easy to follow.
Part 2 of the book introduces the program itself in 3 phases. Dr Mansley actually gives you a daily time-table for your various routines. Recipes, exercise routine, relaxation routine, supplement routine and detox routine are all listed. This part is probably all that makes the book worth buying. The routines are very simple and easy to follow. I'm quite sure anyone following it faithfully will succeed in looking and feeling younger. Whether he/she is going to look as young as his/her cousins 10 years his/her junior will be a subject for debate.
If you're tired of extreme stuff and need an anti-aging book with simple, useful routines to follow, then buy this book. The info is factual and reliable. If you are already a fan of the subject of anti-aging, nothing inside is unfamiliar. You may just want to skip it."

"This book was an enjoyable read covering a lot of the same ground as some of the new diet books and anti-aging books, like RealAge and the Anti-Aging Zone. But it is useful and easy to implement.
Here are the diet guidelines:
1. Eat at least 30 grams of fiber a day.
2. Consume 4 to 5 cups of colorful fruits and vegetables a day.
3. Reduce saturated fat and shun trans fats.
4. Choose healthy omega-3 fats.
5. Substitute whole grains for highly processed, refined foods.
6. Seek out foods rich in calcium and magnesium.
7. Hydrate. (Eight cups of water a day).
8. Save room for a healthy dessert.
9. Watch your portion sizes.
10. Select healthy snacks. (Fruits, vegetables, and nuts).
He also has a plan for fitness, relaxation, detoxification, and what supplements to take. I have read 50 other books on diet and nutrition and completely agree with this authors suggestions.
The author discusses how our modern day lifestyle of refined foods,little exercise, and high stress are accelerating our aging. He does a great job simplifying the solution and showing how to live a much healthier life.
Read this book, it could extend your life span by 10 years or more."

"Dr. Masley does an excellent job outlining a workable and realistic health plan which includes receipes that are delicious.Be sure to try the leek souffle receipe. As a former Atkins fan I have switched over for a senseable approach that I can live with.This is practical, hands on sutff! I appreciate his medical explanations and always enjoy another option in handling my diet and health. A must read for anyone who wants to increase their awareness and gain insight on how nutrition works!"

"This is just like any other diet book and "How to Stay Healthy" plan that is on the market. I really learned nothing new from the information provided. The Title of the book is catchy. In a nut-shell: DO Exercise, Don't Over Eat, and stay away from JUNK: Tabacco ,refined sugars, Alchohol and over- processed foods. Hell, If I had an MD after my name, I can write a book, Too!
I have to add, STAY AWAY from ALL foods that contain HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. We are what we eat!"

"After seeing and listening to Steven Masley, MD on the NBC TODAY show, and reading his book, "Ten Years Younger", I hope everyone will read this book. It is a well written book and filled with interesting and helpful information. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I think "Ten Years Younger" will land on the Best Seller list, and stay on it for a long time. It is the best health and nutrition book in the stores today. "
