World-famous holistic wellness Doctor Frederic Vagnini and Dave Bunnell, founder of the LongLifeClub, have collaborated to create a powerful anti-aging program that is completely customizable to meet the unique needs of everyone. The complete program is in their book, "Count Down Your Age" (Amazon link).
Beginning with a comprehensive anti-aging test that is tremendously educational and great fun, readers learn about their current state of health and the challenges they face to "count down" their "functional" age. Many may be pleasantly surprised to learn they already younger than they think—they are on the right path and can go even farther.
To motivate readers, Doctor Vagnini and Dave Bunnell reveal how they each faced up to their own serious health and lifestyle crises and turned around their own lives. Thus, the authors establish beyond a doubt the fact they practice what they preach.
Next, the authors present a challenging but realistic approach to lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and medical care. Their "Live Better, Live Longer Lifestyle Plan" encourages people to sleep more, have more sex, and laugh their way "to the fountain of youth."
The "Rest of Your Life Nutrition Plan" in "Count Down Your Age" is not a diet, but instead a way of eating designed to maximize resistance to most major diseases, while permanently reducing and stabilize weight. It is built around 15 "Smart Eating Concepts" that begin with "Fall madly in love with food" and also includes "Know your fats," "Lots of fruits and Veggies," "Eat more fish!" and "Learn to eat Less." The authors also present their list of the "20 Greatest Longevity Foods," and "12 Top Longevity Supplements."
Big believers in the importance of exercise—their "Better Than Ever Fitness Plan" is designed to "soup up" stamina, double strength, and "get those hormones flowing." Readers who follow this plan will reduced their risk of coronary artery disease by 50 percent, improve their glucose tolerance and reduced their odds of dying with the next year by 40 percent while seeing improvements in short-term memory and a much reduced risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. The impact of this program is immediate—people on the plan start seeing and feeling results their very first day.
The "Take Charge of Your Medical Care" chapter urges readers to "conspire with your doctors, take notes, and accelerate the anti-aging process." A step-by-step guide teaches them how to create their own health journal. Doctor Vagnini’s "Count Down Your Age Physical" exam includes all the test people need to "best guarantee" they don’t fall prey to unforeseen medical disasters.
Based on what they have learned from taking the self-test in the first chapter and from reading the text, the final section of the book teaches readers how to design their very own, personal "Anti-Aging Plan." By following the plan, readers will build-up muscle mass, speed up metabolic rate, reduce body fat percentage, improve aerobic capacity, lower their cholesterol, and increase their cognitive and memory skills. They’ll soon notice friends and associates remarking on "how great" they look—they will, in fact, be counting down their age.
