Review of Longevity in Action (Paperback)

After working for over 45 years and wondering how to manage my senior years, I read Mr Bull's book "Longevity in Action" with great interest. He did not let me down. His "been there, done that" approach to senior fitness is very motivating. Great reading for all ages.

Product Description
Although the life expectancy of Americans was rising, an alarming number of the author's family members, boyhood chums, and military buddies were passing away . . . years too soon! Then came the shattering blow when his dear wife, Alice, mother of their seven children, nearly succumbed to cancer at 59! It was then that Arnold Bull, an admittedly burned-out, chain-smoking "couch potato" took his life in another direction at the age of 62. He plunged headlong into research in preventive medicine, which led to the study of nutrition and physical fitness, eventually leading to his acquiring the title of America's Oldest Certified Aerobics Instructor.
This informative, lighthearted book, based largely on Arnold's motivational lecture series, is an inspiration to not only senior citizens, but to their offspring-the millions of Baby Boomers tentatively entering their 40s and 50s.

Review of Senior Fitness: The Diet and Exercise Program For Maximum Health and Longevity (Paperback)

By most reasonable standards Senior Fitness is an exceptional book on health and fitness.Its basic message is simple and intellectually sound.The recommendations are based on both solid science (multiple studies with convergent findings) and the results of the author's own heroic battle against cancer.On a personal level I found the book quite inspiring, providing just the impetus I needed to adjust my personal diet and exercise regimen.Dr. Heidrich doesn't equivocate or offer us simplistic solutions that require no work on our part, but the reward of good health and a vigorous old age should more than justify our efforts.The message is clear, the science is sound and if you're looking for a good book to jump start your own personal fitness program this is a great place to start.

Nearing 70, Ruth Heidrich has the bone mass density of a woman in her early thirties and a resting heart rate of 44. Not only that, but she has survived breast cancer for over twenty years and recovered from several accidents that have broken limbs and stopped her (temporarily) doing from what she loves best-keeping fit and being positive.
In Senior Fitness, the "other" Dr. Ruth demonstrates that the senior years don't have to filled with aches and pains. She shows how to dramatically reduce the risk of prostate cancer, varicose veins, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's, and a host of other ailments and diseases that can affect older people. Full of detailed medical information, Senior Fitness shows you how you can eat healthfully, stay fit, and maintain a positive and go-getting attitude to life, maintaining and even increasing physical and sexual fitness well into your latter decades.

Review of Dr. Atkins' Age-Defying Diet (Paperback)

Dr Atkins has synthesized all off the latest research on nutrition and aging and has put together a up-to-date plan to help extend your life and improve the quality too.This is the best book on the subject since thebestselling classic, Life Extension, by Dirk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, fromthe late '70's.The difference with Atkins book though, is that he cites alot of credible research that will become accepted at some point by themedical community.He is ahead of his time as usual.The gist of the bookis to tell readers what steps they need to take to promote heart and brainhealth, mostly through diet and readily available nutritional supplements. He contends that many of the most common diseases can be delayed or avoidedby following his regimen.This is an important book, a gift from Dr.Atkins to people interested in their own healthful longevity.
