Dr. David Snowdon, an epidemiologist in 1986, embarked on a groundbreaking research experiment that would forever transform the way we view aging and old age.

Dr. David Snowdon, an epidemiologist in 1986, embarked on a groundbreaking research experiment that would forever transform the way we view aging and old age. This groundbreaking long-term study venture, called the Nun Experiment because it includes a special group of 678 Catholic nuns, stands at the forefront of some of the world’s most relevant work on aging. The results of the Nun Studys are now helping researchers discover the keys of a shorter, safer existence. But Aging With Grace is more than just a visionary book on nutrition and hard science. It’s an altar boy’s story who grew up as a scholar researching the impact of aging on nuns. It’s the nuns’ own touching and motivational stories. Such extraordinary ladies between the ages of 75 and 104 gave Dr. Snowdon access to their h medical records and promised to donate their brains after death. They join Dr. Snowdon on his tender visits with nuns like Sister Clarissa in Aging With Grace, who at the age of 90 rides around the convent in a motorized cart she calls her Chevrolet and learns as much about baseball as any die-hard fan a third of her age. All state-of-the-art research and a personal prescription of optimism, Aging With Grace reveals that old age does not have to mean an imminent fall into sickness and disability; instead, it may be a time of prosperity and efficiency, mental and religious vigor, and remaining illness-free.

A renowned surgeon, weight-loss specialist, shows why protein, in general, is harmful to our health, and can disrupt the process of losing weight.
Whether you are ask a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, will not warn you againt protein, but most likely recommend more protein. Some may use protein to regulate weight, add and lose pounds, while others feel it gives them more strength and is important for a better, healthy life.

There is no protein shortage when you have enough calories in your diet. People in healthy countries eat little to no meat and yet we have a large set of modern countries on a protein orgy getting sicker and sicker.
Dr. Davis, caring for his patients, was disappointed by the expanding number of obese patients, pushing him to do something about it. Combining cutting-edge science with his hands-on medical experience and years of studying surveys of the world’s longest-lived populations, this ground-breaking groundbreaking book tells the facts about protein risks and offers a established solution to weight loss, nutrition and longevity.

Eat Rich, Live Long now shows that you can improve your weight loss and enhance your long-term health by mastering the low-carb/Keto spectrum In this book, with a major multinational software company, Ivor Cummins, a world-class scientist and technological expert, and Dr. Jeff Gerber, a family physician commonly recognized as a national pioneer in low-carb health, team up to share their different viewpoints through their vast healthcare, medical, and scientific/research expertise. Cummins and Gerber work together teaching you how to eat the food you love, shed weight, and regain resilient health. They show why the dietary ‘experts’ were wrong by demonizing natural healthy fats in our foods and focusing on cholesterol and LDL as the enemies. As the researchers show, consuming a high proportion of healthy fats, a moderate amount of meat, and a small percentage of carbs can help you lose weight, avoid illness, relieve your appetite, shut off your hunger cravings, and live longer.
