Description:
From hitting the weights to putting your job in perspective, the 400-plus-page Men's Health Longevity Program guides you through a wide-ranging, scientifically proven, 12-week course designed to add a decade or more to your life. Men who want to know how they can slow their body's inevitable deterioration from age will find a wealth of insightful advice, attributed to health professionals from various fields. The editors at Men's Health books are adept at making medical information meaningful and interesting to regular guys. Clear, step-by-step photos show how to flex your way through the exercise routines without reaching for the ice pack. Each week of the longevity program has its own chapter with a unique theme, from "eating for maximum energy" to "rediscovering your sense of purpose." Within each week, you're assigned six daily tasks. Some are as simple as eating a good breakfast, while others call for a time--and monetary--commitment, such as setting up a home workout area. The idea is that after three months you'll have sampled "almost every possible thing you can do to improve and lengthen your life," but only by turning many of these tasks into habits will you earn the bonus years of good health. --Bryan Berry
