Age control - Cooking the RealAge Way

"Seventy percent of premature aging is caused by the choices we make, stare Michael F. Roizen, M.D., and John La Puma, M.D. "By making some easy choices, such as eating well you can control your genes rather than he controlled by them and slow down or even reverse aging," Roizen explains. "The best way to eat well is by revising key elements of the most important room in your house--the kitchen."
