Like most of the people that got this book, the intention was to learn how I could maintain my youth. The Elixir on the cover is really attractive, and so it got me hooked on getting inside. The thing is, the book provides you with cold hard facts. This is it. You want to have a better life? You have to eat healthy, exercise, and perform some brain training. The book is comprised of ten steps, each tackling a certain issue. Steps 1, 2, and 4 are about healthy eating, exercise, and brain training respectively, and I think they're really beneficial. The other seven chapters?Well, errr, living healthy is chapters 1, 2, and 4. The other chapters discuss issues like cancer prevention and not falling. Yeah, how to not fall--that actually requires a whole chapter. But you have to stuff a book with something, and it can't just comprise three chapters, so there had to be SOMETHING. I might be a bit harsh concerning the other steps mainly because heart prevention and cancer are issues prevented by exercise, healthy eating, and brain training. Avoidance of disease-causing substances is a known, and that's pretty much it.The book doesn't really cost much, so if you want some insight on better health, get it and check out the action steps for better health and step summaries--skim through the book and read the important stuff, since plenty of it is filler. The bottomline is that I got the help I needed from the book and I'm going to start implementing the steps, but the truth of the matter is that you can find all these tips on healthy living in any generic health magazine. Two stars: Give it a skim.
