Book: It’s easy to rejuvenate our bodies

A fascinating new book suggests that we can rejuvenate and rebuild our brain, bones, muscles and skin on a cellular level. Dr. Perricone, a board-certified clinical and research dermatologist and anti-aging guru extraordinaire, reveals an innovative program he believes can help all of us achieve a healthier, happier life.

Grounded in cutting-edge science, Perricone reveals a seven-step program based on new breakthroughs in the field of cellular rejuvenation. It all begins by eating the right foods. By doing so, we not only protect and rejuvenate aging cells, we ensure normal cellular growth, and, perhaps, even prevent most cancers from developing in the first place.

Losing weight and keeping it off is especially important since it helps reprogram our genetic code so that our bodies can stop both the storage of excess fat and the loss of youthful muscle mass. By choosing the right calcium sources, we can promote new bone growth while preventing the breakdown of existing bone tissue.

Even the facial structure can be rejuvenated by consuming the right proteins. As Dr. Perricone points out, it’s not wrinkles and lines that give older faces an aged appearance, but rather muscles that droop and sag. Proteins can combat that sag and even diminish soft, doughy facial skin.

A good sex life is also important. We can stay young, he claims, if we have a robust sex life since it improves our ability to sleep, increases our general fitness and contributes to our overall psychological health. A healthy sex life also cures many of the wrinkles in an older face.

Exercise and controlling mental and physical stress are also critical to maintaining a long, healthy, happy life, according to the author.
