YOUNGER AT LAST: The New World of Vitality Medicine

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0684834383, Hardcover)

In a youth-obsessed world, Dr. Steven Lamm has a rather bold idea: that men and women between 35 and 65 are at the top of their mental, physical, and creative powers. His book promotes what he calls "vitality medicine," which involves using everything legally at your disposal to look and feel at your peak, rather than simply piqued. He's big on strength training, vitamin supplementation to improve memory, a new technique called endermologie to reduce cellulite, the antioxidant pycnogenol and a host of other products and procedures most people haven't heard of yet. It's intriguing reading, especially for those wondering just how quietly to head into the night.
