It's no news, of course, that you're far better off eating fruits and vegetables than fats and sugars. Nor is fat all bad. If you undertake only a single new step to regain your youth, build new muscle. The result of weight training is not just an increase in strength and mobility, but also a speedier metabolism, a conversion of fat into muscle, and lower blood-sugar levels. Perhaps most encouraging, all of these effects can be attained with as little as 30 minutes a week of weight training.
Sedentary habits die especially hard.
Much as we may dislike aging, we still find it hard to embrace what's good for us. Roizen believes that he's got even this angle covered. While he dutifully follows 41 of his 44 prescriptions, Roizen acknowledges that he still gets too little sleep, endures too much chronic stress, and can't always resist the pleasures of chocolate. The most successful people start with 3 or 4 changes, and then come back in 90 days and add a few more. For several weeks, I have been testing Roizen's theory in my own life.
