New Book, ‘Appears Younger Than Stated Age,’ Discusses Art of Staying Young
(PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- In his new book, “Appears Younger than Stated Age,” physician James L. Hardeman offers practical age-defying habits, including tasty but healthy recipes, fitness tips and easy-to-follow medical advice for readers looking to improve health and, as a result, look younger.
“This is more of a how-to handbook to be read in a few hours and referred to again and again,” says Dr. Hardeman, who has seen firsthand the consequences of unhealthy habits during his 30 years as a practicing physician.
“Being healthy, including achieving and maintaining your optimum weight, requires changing your lifestyle to incorporate healthy living into your personality and self-identity. There is so much false information out there and I want to present the truth, including the fact that when you’re healthy, you can look and feel younger than your stated age – a term doctors use in their notes to describe someone who looks younger than their age.”
While outlining 40 basic age-defying habits for lifelong physical and mental wellness, the book demonstrates that people can maintain a healthy body weight without any fads or gimmicks. The straightforward guide includes tips on how to get started and remain motivated in the transition to a healthier lifestyle, recommendations for maintaining mental health, and nutritional and scientific information. Also featured are cardio exercises and diet habits; tips to increase daily activity; debunked diet myths; no-bother recipes, and detailed images of weightlifting exercises.
Low-calorie, satisfying dinner recipes help readers stick with their age-defying habits. One dining option includes a vegetarian burger with onions, tofu and mushroom soup; another features vegetarian chili with tomato and basil pasta. The eating guide also includes convenient low-fat snacks and how to eat healthy when dining out.
“Dr. Jim Hardeman has charted a clear and accessible roadmap for anyone of any age motivated to learn the necessary steps to achieve a long and healthy life – and yes, to look ‘younger than stated age,’” says David E. Griffith, M.D,, professor of medicine, W.A. and E.B. Moncrief Distinguished Professor, University of Texas Health Science Center in Tyler, Texas. “…The more altruistic subtext is about living longer with a better quality of life. Dr. Hardeman is a sincere, convincing and comprehensible voice amid the confusing cacophony of lifestyle fad ‘experts.’”
Amazon reviewer Judy Beam Clark, who gives the book five stars, writes:
“… In a wise inducement he reminds us that a healthy lifestyle will do more than promote our quality of life and increase our age span – it may even make us appear younger than our stated age.”
