Gary Null's Ultimate Anti-Aging Program

Rating:
Summary: true information
Review: To the book's credit, the advice given is sound, even if not new or Earth shaking. It does go into great lengths about eliminating the junk food and toxic elements from your body, i.e., too much sugar, fried foods, meat (animal protein,) but haven't we heard all that before? One does not need to buy a book to hear the message, it has been drilled into us in virtually every newspaper, health brochure, and health-centred television program for years now.

To the book's discredit, was the rather disorganized presentation style. I found myself constantly flipping back and forth from one page to another and enduring footnotes, which distract me to no end. My preference is to have information presented in a clear and concise manner, in an well-organized, structural format and that certainly was not found here.

If you gather some new information here that helps you improve your quality of health, then for you, the book will likely be a success. However, I found anything presented here which claims to promote "anti-aging," is nothing more than sound, common sense advice, which may help maintain your quality of health but is definitely not going to prevent aging. If one is concerned about "aging gracefully," it is common sense to eliminate as many junk foods as possible and eat nutritionally balanced meals, but I would place far more emphasis on a positive mental outlook to combat aging, than worrying about the dozen French Fries I ate for lunch last week! Vegetables and fruit are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, in meat we worry about Hoof and Mouth disease and Mad Cow disease, we have all heard of cases of contaminated drinking water, grains have been genetically modified, sugars, salt and preservatives are supposedly harmful...so what is "safe" to eat? One can eat "sensibly" till the end of time...nothing is going to prevent aging. We would need to join Peter Pan in Never-Never Land, find Shangri-la or the Eternal Fountain of Youth for that one. One book I do hightly recommend is "Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type" - that one is a great book definitely deserving of a five star rating.
