Oz Garcia's The Healthy High-Tech Body

Amazon.com
Nutritionist Oz Garcia doesn't want to live forever; he just wants to have "80 to 90 fabulous years." Garcia promises health, vitality, and productivity in later years with his "High-Tech" health program. Garcia, author of The Balance, rests this program on five "pillars": bioengineering, supernutrition, life extension/enhancement, beauty and fitness, and sexuality. His Paleotech Diet presumes that our bodies need our ancestors' hunter-gatherer diet rather than carbohydrate excesses and modern "nufoods" devoid of nutrition. Garcia recommends a diet of lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate servings of whole grains low on the glycemic index. His 33 innovative recipes include Breakfast Leek and Onion Pizzas (on oatmeal-barley cakes, not pizza dough), Crab Bundles with Avocado-Ginger Sauce, and Buffalo (the animal, not the city) Chili. A CD-ROM with additional resources is included. Garcia recommends dozens of supplements that he claims will maximize health benefits, assist in weight loss, and control the diseases of aging. He also discusses the benefits of some controversial, injectable supplements and hormones, such as human growth hormone. In general, this book may leave you confused and overwhelmed, because Garcia recommends many changes--some easy, some complex. Be sure to consult with your physician before beginning any program of supplements. --Joan Price

FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Nutritionist and health expert Oz Garcia urges readers to take advantage of cutting-edge medical advances and pharmaceutical feats to maintain excellent health and ensure longevity. In this impressive, mind-boggling compendium, Garcia evaluates all the most up-to-date treatments -- everything from botox to genomics -- and details how and where readers can avail themselves of these medical resources on their own.

The author's enthusiasm is palpable as he describes the five major "pillars" that contribute not just to physical health but to general wellness and enjoyment of life: Frontiers, Life Extension and Life Enhancement, The Body Beautiful, Sexuality, and Supernutrition. Within the context of each pillar, Garcia elaborates on all manner of gadgets, treatments, and dietary approaches; however, the book is arranged so that readers can just as easily look up a particular problem or concern and find the best and most current solution.

Garcia's extensive research into the wealth of topics that are covered in the book is also evident. Presenting both the potential drawbacks as well as the benefits, the book proves to be a potent tool for readers who choose to let science work for them. While a few of the possibilities may strike some readers as far-fetched or intimidating, features such as the Paleotech Diet and the chapter on the Power Brain will certainly appeal to a wide audience.
