Dr. Atkins' Age-Defying Diet by Robert C. Atkins M.D A weath of information, when eating and preparing foods and taking vitamins. Hard cover, dust cover book. With boomers rapidly marching into their fifties, Atkins is waiting, offering hints on how to fake out Father Time. Readers who have joined Atkins' previous revolutions will find much that's familiar, but the focus here is "holding back aging" by preventing "diseases of westernization," particularly heart disease and diabetes. Atkins argues that "the key to aging" is hyperinsulinism and that carbohydrates, both simple and complex, contribute to this condition. In addition, he discusses the idea that free radicals damage the body and must be countered by antioxidants via diet or supplementation. He explains antioxidant enzymes, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids and the difference between good and "really bad" fats, urging readers to "Build Your Immunity," "Detoxify Your Body," and "Exercise!" Based on past performance, Atkins' traditional complementary medicine approach to the terrors of growing old should have wide appeal.
