Heller - The DASH diet younger you : shed 20 years-and pounds-in just 10 weeks

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Thats the sound of time ticking by, and with it your internal clock, the one that determines your chronological age. Many people fear the ticking of that clock, thinking it will bring with it the frustrating effects of aging, like joint pain, weight gain (especially that stubborn belly weight!), wrinkles, and age-related illnesses.

But you dont have to be at the mercy of the clock! Those age-related consequences are avoidable! You can choose to stop the march of time that defines chronological aging and hold firm insteadand indefinitelyto the inner and outer youthfulness we naturally enjoy in our younger years. Whether youre in your twenties or thirties and are focused on keeping your youthful energy, health, and looks, or youre in your forties, fifties, or older and want to reverse the signs of aging and recover that inward and outward resilience you enjoyed in your younger years, The DASH Diet Younger You puts you back in the drivers seat. Your youthfulness no longer has to have an expiration date!

Thats because this plan stems from the most trusted and effective program in diets: the DASH diet. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet has been named the Best Overall Diet and the Healthiest Diet by U.S. News & World Report. The health benefits of DASH are well documented and well known. It lowers blood pressure in fourteen days. It lowers cholesterol and preserves brain function. It lowers the rates of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and some types of cancer, including BRCA-negative breast cancer. And if you follow the DASH program, youre less likely to develop diabetes or kidney stones.

And now, thanks to exciting new research, I have discovered how the DASH Diet can be your anti-aging solution, too! This plan is specifically designed to help you shed not just pounds but also years, with a program of renewal and rejuvenation that will deliver a younger youin as little as ten weeks.

The desire for eternal youthan enduring wish to continue to look and feel youngis as old as time itself. The quest to find the secrets of everlasting youth and beauty stretches as far back as recorded history; most notably, it inspired the Spanish explorer Ponce de Len to comb the world for a fountain of youth. The road to this promised land has been littered by fairy tales and false leads. The fountain of youth, though, is not to be found in some mystical, far-flung land; the secrets to maintaining our youthfulness can be found in the same fertile bedrock of science and nutrition that drives our medical frontiers forward. In fact, exciting research from the past few years reveals the tools you need to understand and control the mechanisms of agingall through changes in diet and lifestyle.

Drawing on this research, in conjunction with my own decades of experience as an expert and pioneer in bringing the DASH diet to the public, Ive created a brand-new DASH anti-aging program: The DASH Diet Younger You plan. With this book as your guide, youll learn the latest secrets to looking and feeling younger and reversing the signs of premature agingsecrets that are simpler than you may think.

Youve picked up this book because you, too, are interested in stopping or turning back the clock. Great news: This program will get you to that goalin as little as ten weeks.

Let me tell you how and why. Im a registered dietitian with twenty years of experience working hands-on with thousands of clients. Combined with my many years of postgraduate education, Ive developed expertise in nutrition and the prevention of disease, and I had the privilege of working with one of the original architects of the DASH diet. I was tasked with creating a program to implement DASH for the publicin other words, to make the first scientifically proven diet easy to use for busy people in the real world. I was happy to share the DASH program with readers nationwide in my New York Times bestselling books, The DASH Diet Action Plan, The DASH Diet Weight Loss Solution, and The Everyday DASH Diet Cookbook. Crowned the #1 diet by U.S. News & World Report for several years running, DASH came to fame as the diet proven to be as effective as front-line medications in preventing or reversing hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers. Were it not for the endorsements of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Heart Association, and the Mayo Clinic, along with a legion of doctors, such claims might be dismissed as nothing more than the hyperbole we have come to expect from passing diet fads. But the DASH diet is for real.

For me, the most important thing about DASH is that it proves that dietary intervention alone can have the same (or greater!) efficacy as prescription medications in fighting disease, minus all the nasty side effects and costly price tag! Since DASH has the ability to fight back diseases like hypertension and diabetes, I knew those same mechanisms held the promiseif harnessed correctlyof even more benefits. The same health-restoring properties in DASH that allow us to stave off disease can be amped up to go that achievement one better, and actually hold back the conditions we associate with aging.
