    About this ebook

    Living forever is not an option. The maximum lifespan a human being can currently expect is around 120 years. Making healthy diet and lifestyle choices as early as possible will help your body and mind get as near as possible to that age whilst enjoying good physical and mental vitality.
    Turning Back the Clock is a guide to how we can make sensible decisions about our health and diet whilst enjoying a continued quality of life. Not many of us really want to be 90 or 100 years old if it means that we are going to be filled with medication and tucked away in a nursing home unaware of our surroundings.
    Every organ in our body requires optimum nutrition, oxygen and exercise to ensure it is running smoothly. As we age our nutritional requirements change and a review from time to time will identify simple adjustments to ensure that health and vitality is maintained.
    In the book you will find not just nutritional guidance – including the foods that help anti-aging – but will also help you understand how our attitudes and external appearance can add years to our actual age.
    Whilst we all might want to gain that extra ten years at the end of our lives it is actually easier to turn the clock back now and regain the last ten instead. Turning Back the Clock may help you achieve that.

      INTRODUCTION

      A few years ago I had a series on radio called Turning Back the Clock which I wrote in response to listeners in their 50’s and 60’s looking for rejuvenation and tips on staying young. Like me, they were exasperated by the claims of the cosmetic industry that the various ingredients in their products could knock ten years off their age. I was asked to design a diet that would help reverse the signs of aging and this developed into a ten week challenge that was undertaken by nearly 100 listeners.

      The answer to turning back the clock by several years is to consider and address a number of factors which include physical, emotional and mental age markers.

      We have all met people in their 30’s who already seem staid and middle aged and it has nothing to do with the wrinkles on their faces. A positive attitude to life is key if you are to beat the clock and how you interact with the rest of the human race will determine your real age.

      Certainly our diet plays a part in the health and fitness of our bodies but it is also about our emotional health and how we feel about ourselves that can make all the difference when looking in the mirror. A smile can knock years off as people are deflected
