Prime Time Health By Dr. William Sears

Healthy Anti Aging Made Simple

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Prime Time Health. I have to admit that when I first pulled this thick book out of the mailbox, I groaned a little. Oh no, I thought, not another really big book to review when I have so many projects going on at the same time. But I sat down on a lazy Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and this book, and I surprised myself because I read it for hours. (Don’t worry, the book says moderate coffee drinking is fine as long as we take in enough calcium!)

Summary of Prime Time Health By Dr. William Sears (MD) and Martha Sears (RN)

I do not really believe that I read anything about what we should do to prevent medical problems in middle age and beyond that I hadn’t already come accross from previous research on anti aging and natural health. But this particular book explains what we should do, and how we should do it in a simple and concrete way that I had never seen before. In addition, Prime Time Health really explains why we should make our health a hobby in a clear way I had never understood before!

Yes, we all know that we should avoid bad fats, eat good carbs, and exercise more. But I think that it is much more motivating when understand (even in a simplified way) some of the science and research behind it. I was particularly interested in a study of Eskimos vs Danes. The Eskimos actually consumed more cholesterol in their diets, but also consumed more Omega-3 oils. They had a dramatically lower rate of heart disease. So what I understood from that is healthy eating is not all about avoiding certain foods, but it is more about making sure we consume the right foods.

The Eat More Fish and Exercise Book

I was tempted to call this the Eat More Fish and Excercise Book. But Prime Time Health also points out that when we just have to endulge in bad fats, like steak, to moderate our consumption, and to make sure we also eat some good food along with it. For example, if you have to go out for a steak, try to order the smaller portion, and also make sure you start off with a nice salad, and if possible, substitute fruit or vegetables for fries or a loaded baked potato.

Some health benefits from following Dr. Sear’s program will be welcome by most of us who are worrying about our health in middle age.

• Disease Prevention
• Younger Brains
• Better Eyesight
• Younger Looking Skin
• Better Moods
• Fitter Bodies

Is this common sense? Sure, but I think it is ok to be reminded. And this would make a great gift for anybody in middle age or retirement age who really hasn’t researched healthy lifestyle choices because it presents information in a clear and convincing manner. I think this book would make a great birthday present for a friend who was turning 50, 65, or 80!
