You can live longer—and feel younger and more vigorous at every age—with the help of THE 120-YEAR DIET. Developed by Dr. Roy L. Walford, one of America’s leading research physicians and gerontologists, this high-nutrient, low-calorie diet is based on long-range universily studies which suggest that people can retard aging, extend their life span and prevent killer diseases with the simple dietary measures described in THE 120-YEAR DIET. Learn how you can:
* REDUCE YOUR RISK of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis;
* ENJOY ENHANCED SEXUALITY AND FERTILITY at a more advanced age;
* IMPROVE your eyesight and hearing, sharpen your concentration, increase your energy level;
* LOSE WEIGHT GRADUALLY, SAFELY, PERMANENTLY;
* GET THE VITAMINS YOUR BODY NEEDS for maximum life span;
* PREPARE DELICIOUS, HEALTHFUL MEALS—menus and recipes for 20 days, plus how to plan your own daily menus;
* REDUCE CALORIES, BOOST NUTRITION AND NEVER BE HUNGRY AGAIN!;
“Dr. Roy Walford has recently shown that the benefits of ‘undernutrition without malnutrition’ apparently can be reaped even if food restriction does not begin until middle age.” —Jane Brody, The New York Times.
