THE ULTRA COLLECTION Ultra-Metabolism; Ultra-Prevention

Staying healthy, losing weight, and preventing the problems of old age are the subjects of this fast-moving two-for-one lesson. With practical language and memorable lists, the authors explain how processes like metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation can impact almost every aspect of health and fitness. The excellent writing is both authoritative and nonjudgmental. It makes the case that everyone can become healthier when they have good information and focus on steady progress rather than on deprivation, struggle, and blame. Anchored in science that doesn’t sound pedantic, these empowering lessons are delivered primarily by Dr. Hyman, whose reading style is spontaneous and comfortable with his expertise. His kind, earnest tone makes this advice as inviting as it is essential for anyone wanting a vigorous, healthy life. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2009]
