Wowed by Ultralongevity! Sep 10, 2009 Perfect for : Personal Use, Professional Reading, Health Library
In a nutshell: This is another book that completely wowed me. The author explains how important our immune system is and how we can work in harmony with it, or ignore it and ultimately age faster and become unhealthy. He then goes on to share seven areas to focus on to improve the function of our immune systems: Breathe, Eat, Sleep, Dance, Love, Soothe and Enhance. I will admit that I have read very carefully from the beginning through the section on breathing, but that I skimmed beyond that as I scored so low on the UltraLongevity Quiz that I felt I needed to really go through the steps carefully. I am now more aware of my breathing and am focusing on changing the way I breathe. I find it amazing that I feel much more calm after paying more attention to this one step for a few days. This is another life-changing book that I hope you will take a look at.
Extended Review: In general, I know that I have an immune system, and I know a few things about how it works, but I didn't realize that I could do things in my everyday life to help support it (other than vitamins, etc). Mark Liponis explains the immune system in easy to understand terms, showing readers how they can live in harmony and support their immune system with easy changes.
Content: The book starts with an UltraLongevity Quiz, which was very eye-opening for me. The author then talks about the science behind the immune system, how it works, what it is made up of, and how it can impact our overall health and aging. The author then goes on to explain that we have the control to improve our immune system so that we are living in harmony with it by addressing 7 areas of our life: Breathe, Eat, Sleep, Dance, Love, Soothe and Enhance. Looking at the list, it seems a bit overwhelming, but the author goes on to provide us with an example day of someone who is actively using the seven-step program, and finishes with a sample menu for eight days, and includes vegetarian suggestions for those who need it.
Format: Easy to read, but seemingly very complete. The author shows us why the immune system is important, and how to support it in our daily life.
Readability: I was amazed at how quickly I read the book. I was so interested in what I was learning that the time simply flew by!
Overall: A very informative book that should help readers to feel and look younger and healthier. After actively working on the first step, I can see how beneficial this book is.

Life Changing Dec 12, 2008 I read Ultra Longevity on a recent vacation and found the information and understanding I needed to change my life. While some may think the chemistry is a bit confusing it truly paints the picture as to why what you eat and do impacts your overall health.
Ultra Longevity also gives you a simple guide to follow in how you can live a healthful and rich life. My goal at 44, my age today, is to have a body that will allow me to do the things that I want to do, no matter my age.
Splendidly wonderful deal Nov 17, 2008 It is great to get such a wonderful book at such a wonderful price. As always, Amazon is a great source of life-changing books and their service is splendid. You will be doing yourself a great favor if you purchase this book from Amazon.
Great Speaker Jun 24, 2008 Have not had a chance to read the book yet, but met him at a confrence and was blown away by his story and hope this book motivates me towards being and living well!
