Part 1
What You Need to Understand about the Aging Process

What you are about to learn is much more than a diet plan or how to lose weight or start an exercise program. It is more than getting your body to an ideal weight and maintaining that weight, and it’s not just about preventing a heart attack or a stroke. It’s not even just about the aging of your arteries.

The Prescription for Life plan also teaches you how to help prevent the major cancers. And you may not be diabetic or have high blood pressure now, but by the end of this book you will know how to prevent such conditions from occurring in your body.

In a nutshell, the goal is to live young physiologically—until you die at an old age chronologically. And the first step is to understand the aging process.
