The Omega Rx Zone: The Miracle of the New High-Dose Fish Oil FROM OUR EDITORS
The author of the bestselling The Zone series returns with a provocative look at the beneficial effects of incorporating fish oils into the Zone diet. In addition to the insulin control and calorie restriction recommended in his previous works, Sears now advocates using high-dose, pharmaceutical-grade fish oils to achieve the optimal balance of hormones needed to fulfill physical and emotional "genetic potential." The book features dietary recommendations and outlines scientific findings that show the correlation between fish-oil consumption and the prevention -- and even reversal -- of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, dementia, and more.

In the form of pharmaceutical-grade supplements, the fish oil that keeps Eskimos healthy is good for everyone, according to this well-known nutrition expert. The crux of his theory is that various blood chemistry variables have ideal ranges and that paying attention to what influences these ranges, especially sugar and refined carbohydrates, can have a huge influence on how we age. Mood, thinking, memory, attention capacity, and a variety of disease-fighting mechanisms all improve dramatically when one's blood chemistry stays in "The Zone" through the use of supplements and dietary recommend-ations spelled out so clearly here. Practical and persuasive, the audio will renew hope that living long and well is possible. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
