Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to Be 100 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is well researched (including Western science and Eastern traditions), full of excellent advice and written in easy to read, enjoyable snippets, not to mention that each page is designed with artwork and a nice visual layout. Despite what another reviewer wrote, this book has plenty of info that you probably have never heard before on topics ranging from diet and nutrition, chinese and western herbal medicines, the environment, ecology and community, exercise, lifestyle and rejuvenation, genetics, relationships, love, sexuality and faith, and the last chapter brings it all together.
Here are some examples of simple sound advice in the book that you may not have heard before:
Chronic fatigue syndrome has been linked to sinus disease. Evidence now suggests that humming along with the radio or singing tunes to yourself may help prevent or remedy sinus problems.
"A body "map" inside your mouth. In Chinese medicine the tongue is seen as a map of the internal body. You can detect hidden problems early by inspecting your tongue for redness, cracks, or coating on specific areas." He then goes on to write which areas on the tongue correspond to which internal organs, and what the redness, or cracks, etc indicate.
Dr. Mao also gives specific advice for preventing illness during each season, with sound advice such as, altering sleep paterns, what foods to eat or which to avoid, special preventative practices that are all specific to that season and the ailments that tend to occur within the season.
Eventhough the book is full of advice, I did not find it overwhelming. In fact, Dr. Mao writes in an encouraging, upbeat tone that makes it fun to read and easy to practice. You don't even need to read it cover to cover in a systematic way. Just flip the book open to a new page each day, and you'lll find a little gem.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I got a copy for myself and am also giving it to my grandma and other loved ones for their birthday!
Happy longevity!
P.S. Dr. Mao's "The Tao of Nutrition is also excellent" It focuses more on the properties of specific foods and how to use foods as medicine to treat specific ailments/diseases.

Reverse Aging Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was one of the first books I picked up after reading Dr. Young's "The pH Miracle", which had left me with more questions than answers.
What I loved about this book was the way Mr. Whang explains - in plain English anyone can understand - the chemical and physical science that makes alkaline diets work.
If you're looking to understand the science behind alkaline diets, this book is a must-read.
Mr. Whang doesn't approach alkaline balance like most other authors who just tell you to eat this and not eat that. In the first few chapters of the book, he gives the reader the essential understanding of how the human body works - from a chemical perspective. He doesn't make assumptions or rely on annectodal data - he shows the reader how the laws of physics and chemistry affect the chemical reactions inside the human body.
Armed with this information, he then tells the reader how the basic elements of foods (minerals, calcium, phosphorus, etc.) affect the pH of the body. This is the key understanding when it comes to figuring out which foods are acidifying and which ones are alkalizing.
His approach is very straight forward, clear, and matter-of-fact.
He then goes on to show how an acidic lifestyle and diet affects the body, how the body tries to maintain its chemical integrity, and what the resulting strain does, in terms of reactions, diseases, etc.
Mr. Whang's description of diseases and how they come to be is also very interesting. He goes through a long list of diseases, gives specific reasons for each of them (from an alkaline diet point of view) and tells the reader how to reverse them.
He goes a step further in his description of non-medicinal health improvement devices that are mainly used in other countries. Again, giving scientific reasons why and how they work to alkalize the body.
What is missing from this book is a good description of what to do on a day-to-day basis to become alkaline. He only mentions drinking alkaline waters. As a matter of fact, the only book I've found that has practical approach and step-by-step instructions for becomong alkaline (including what to do tomorrow) is this acid alkaline diet book.
Nonetheless, I think Mr. Whang's book is excellent. If you're serious about getting healthy through an alkaline diet, you must to read this book (and also find another book that gives step-by-step instructions for what to do).

Not science fiction, but a scientific fact!This book isthe first common sense scientific explanation of the aging process and"how to" reverse it.The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn withoxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body.The bodytries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine andperspiration.Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and environment preventour body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates.Gradually, theseleftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our body.Since acidcoagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste areas becomes poor,causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop.The author definesthe aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes withinthe body.According to this theory, the reduction of accumulated wastesis re verse aging.This book explains how some of the adult degenerativediseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and describes the variousscientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes without any harmfulside effects.These devices and methods are being wid ely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in existence in Japan formore than 40 years.Many in the alternative health industry of waterionizers, magnet and far-infrared devices regard this book as the mostcomprehensive and up-to-date reference book of its kind in the Englishlanguage.It is a "must read" for all who are health-conscious.
