G-L-O-W Principles of Healthy Ageing: Personal Guide

G-L-O-W uses a unique perspective on the ageing process to show readers how to stay young, healthy and vital and literally GLOW. Dr Judy Ford, who herself glows with health and youthfulness, has used GLOW both as a symbol of optimal health and as an acronym. G=Genes, L=Lifestyle, O=Omniverousness and W=Water. The book is written in four sections and each section has a list of "Take Home Messages". The book is based on the biological theory of ageing but it is easy and enjoyable to read.

In the G-L-O-W concept, G is not so much about individual genes as about the importance of genes and chromosomes in ageing and cancer. You will learn how to nurture your genes and minimise your cell divisions and avoid both! This is the first time that the science of ageing has been translated into practical lifestyle habits that are easily adopted. The lessons are as diverse as teeth flossing and thorough hand washing to indoor plants, nutrition and drinking plenty of pure water. By reading the book you will understand the importance of many seemingly diverse health messages. You will finally understand why antioxidants, Omega 3 and 6 fats, lecithin, proteins, glycosides, vitamins, moderate exercise, organic food, mind stimulation are all important. This book makes a whole of the diverse health messages that we so often receive. G-L-O-W puts the pieces of the jigsaw together.
