| Overcoming the Myths of Aging challenges the aging myths we all have become accustom to and that are aging us prematurely. We don't have to buy into the "normal" but certainly not "natural" expectations of growing older.
This book delves into the five aging myths: When we get old, we get fat, sick, flabby, it's too late to be, do or have anything new and we can forget about sex. It provides information to debunk the myths, and it offers a simple, and easy to implement plan to change your life.
The "Overcoming the Myths" (OTM) plan has three components: food, exercise and mind. It has its foundation in the physiology of the human body, and the simple truths that contribute to better health.
The concepts in this book have helped many people to become fit, regain energy and treat serious diseases such as cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It is easy to understand, easy to adopt and it works.
Our review:
If you believe it’s a ‘normal’ part of the aging process to pile on the pounds, lose your vitality and kiss goodbye to your sex life, think again! In this book, life coach Roe Gallo busts these myths and others that are aging us prematurely, demonstrating that many of the things we blame on aging are actually caused by lifestyle choices. How to buy out of the conditioning? Three simple steps: get the correct information, believe in it, then live it.
Gallo, author of raw classic Perfect Body, shows that being healthy needn’t involve giving up all the foods you love. She explains the difference between enhancing foods and compromising foods, and then outlines three ‘phases’ readers can choose according to how far they want to go with the plan, and a points system to help keep track of progress. A well as a food plan, the book also includes an exercise plan and a mind plan.
Throughout the book Gallo includes the questions of Stephen Zocchi, a busy executive adopting the plan for the first time, and her responses to his pertinent questions provide a highly practical guide to adopting the program.
