Schwarzbein - The Schwarzbein Principle 2, The Transition

A ging is inevitable. We all know it is happening to us every time we look in the mirror.

You probably think that there is nothing you can do about aging, but that is not true. This book has been written to show you that there is a great deal that you can do about itand it will teach you how to age successfully.

It may seem strange to think of success in terms of aging, but you can be as successful at aging as you can in any other area of your life. Successful aging is not only possible; it is crucial if you are going to live a long, healthy, active life. You can control your aging process by adopting the nutrition and lifestyle habits that bring your bodys systems back into balance, thus promoting health and longevity.

Part of successful aging is the ability to heal your metabolism or keep it running efficiently if you already have a healthy metabolism. As you adopt good habits and your metabolism begins to heal, you will go through a transition time where your body repairs the damage caused by your previous years of poor nutrition and lifestyle habits. This transition will take some of you longer than others, but the good news is that everyone can heal. You will have optimum health, ideal body composition, and increased longevity when you complete your transition.

To help you through your transition, I have put together a How of the book that contains a five-step regeneration program based on what I recommend in my clinical practice depending on your current metabolism type. There are four individual programs based on the four different current metabolism types: insulin-sensitive with healthy adrenal glands; insulin-sensitive with burned-out adrenal glands; insulin-resistant with healthy adrenal glands; and insulin-resistant with burned-out adrenal glands. These metabolism types are acquired and not genetic. If you implement the five areas outlined in the How To section into your daily lifestyle, as described in your individual program, you will heal your metabolism or keep it healthy and achieve successful aging. It does not get much better than that.

If you are going to skip to the back of the book and read the How To section to learn the Schwarzbein Principle II (SPII) program first, come back and read the first half of the book that deals with the Why To and the Transition process. By reading the case studies, you will learn why you need to change certain habits and what you may experience along the way. This will help you make the necessary changes and then stick to them. This book is not intended to be a quick fix but a life-changing tool that will help you enjoy your remaining years to their fullest.

For the purpose of simplicity, the actions of adrenaline, norepinephrine and glucagon are consolidated into one hormone, adrenaline. Though this is not 100 percent correct, it is sufficient for the purpose of this book, which is to inspire you to improve your nutrition and lifestyle habits.
