Guide Review - Count Down Your Age
Count Down Your Age is a comprehensive attempt to provide all the information and plans a person needs for healthy aging. While the ideas presented in Count Down Your Age are not new, the presentation is excellent. There are countless tips, suggestions and advice for improving your health.
Authors Frederic Vagnini, M.D., and Dave Bunnell, a heart surgeon and a tech entrepreneur, include a wide variety of topics, such as lists of questions to ask your doctor, sleep tips and information about supplements. The writing is clear and easy-to-understand, and the suggestions are feasible for the reader.
The book includes a checklist that will help the reader to focus on goals for his or her particular situation. Unfortunately, the book overmarkets itself with wild claims of anti-aging, looking younger and far too many “bests.” The excellent advice contained in the book is often obscured by these claims and superlatives.
