Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz were on Oprah talking about their new book and I was wondering if anyone has read any of their other books, or this one, and what you though of them. I enjoyed the two-part show and bought the book but have not started reading it just yet.

I'm actually waiting for Dr. Andersen's Healthy Habits book....

[PippiLongstocking]

I have the book, I'm doing everything I can at 42 to undo some of the
unhealthy choices I have made like....sunbathing including tanning beds, overeating, and not enough sleep.

Its hard to be a grown up....

I am turning 30 next September and I am not going gracfully! I see everything falling, especially after my baby. I have looser neck skin-- what's up with that! I thought for all of my twenties that as soon as I loose the weight I will look like my old skinny self in high school but now I think that wont be the case, my chance to do that was gone at about ~26

Anyway, Is this book focused on 40 or is it for all around preserving youth?

Oh, I hate being pastey white but I am for just this reason. Has anyone tried a spray tan booth? How much does that run?

The book gives you instructions on how to extend your life. I started reading it after work yesterday and it's really good.

I've taken that test before but not recently. My mental health history, weight and smoking packed on about 7 years! I will put it on my list of things to do today.

Bikipatra, are you still smoking?

Hey Donna!
Thanks for the heads up on the book - it definitely sounds interesting and informative. I love Dr. Oz and... uhm... that other guy!

I took that test last semester as an assignment in my Adulthood & Aging class. I was thrilled with the results! My "real age" was 34 years old. Not bad considering that I will be 46 in a little over a week! Then we did another test from our textbooks that involved life span. My family history plus my "real age" factors indicate that I'm gonna' live to be 102 years old! That makes starting my professional career so late in life a little easier to swallow! Heehee. But really, both sets of grandparents lived into their late 80s and 90s, even with really unhealthy dietary habits (greasy, fatty, sugary foods), and the resultant diabetes and hypertension. Lots of alcohol and tobacco throughout their lives too! My maternal great-aunt just died last summer, having reached 103 years old - and my paternal great-grandfather lived to be 112! Tequila and cigars everyday! He was also quite active right up until his last days, too--they all were--so that's definitely a factor.

Yeah, anyway ~ it makes it much easier, as that big 5-0 quickly approaches, to know that I'm not really that age!! Genetic factors from both sides of my family, coupled with the good lifestyle we're all striving for might very well take me to that century mark! With tequila!!

I Love Dr. Oz. I have his first book and it was really good. I am not much of an Oprah fan, but I will tune in if I know he is going to be on.

I got the book earlier this week. I'm not sure that I like the presentation, but the book seems chock full of sound advice. 5-0, here I come!
