Description:

Now in Paper! People everywhere hope for a long, robust life of good health and youthfulness. The people of Okinawa, to a greater extent than any other population, have been enjoying exactly that--with proportionally more healthy, active centenarians that anywhere on the planet. Written by the three principal architects of the landmark, scientifically rigorous Okinawa Centenarian Study, this book offers a 4-week turnaround plan for diet, fitness, and psychosocial well- being that lets us make the Okinawa way our way.

The centerpiece of the program is a low-calorie, high complex-carbohydrate, plant-based diet that's quite likely the healthiest in the world. (And the book's more than 100 recipes are quick, easy to prepare, and delicious.) The authors debunk the current craze for low-carb diets, and their research findings will surely make news and create controversy. Other books, such as The Zone, have based their latest programs on some of the Okinawa Centenarian Study's groundbreaking data, but have misconstrued its meaning. Now the experts set the record straight.
