It sounds like science fiction, but in fact it's cutting-edge science grounded in exciting new research. In The Metabolic Plan,\" internationally renowned biochemist Stephen Cherniske reveals the medical breakthroughs that enable all of us to extend our lives--and the quality of our lives--starting today. \u003cbr\u003eFar from giving out due to inevitable wear and tear, the human body is naturally endowed with astonishing powers of renewal, self-repair, and regeneration. The secret to unlocking these powers lies not in genetic tinkering or a high-tech fix but in \"tricking\" your body into adopting the metabolism of a twenty-year-old. \"The Metabolic Plan offers a comprehensive diet and exercise regimen specifically tailored to boost antioxidant levels, combat disease, increase muscle, reduce fat, and enhance memory and vision. Cherniske shares the age-defying properties of such cutting-edge supplements as 7-Keto and debunks myths about acid\/alkaline foods. Here too are detailed metabolic plans geared to the different needs of men and women and to every decade of our lives--so we'll know exactly what to focus on when. \u003cbr\u003eLonger life, more energy, improved health, a pervasive sense of well-being: It's all within our grasp.
