Do you want to live the longest, healthiest life possible? Do you want to stop aging? Better yet, do you want to reverse aging?

According to the latest scientific research, you can control the aging process, simply by paying attention to one thing: your immune system.

That's right. All you have to do is manage your immune system, because every disease of aging, and in fact aging itself, has been shown to be associated with an overactive immune system.

In UltraLongevity, Dr. Mark Liponis, medical director of the world-famous Canyon Ranch Health Resorts, presents this revolutionary new paradigm for the first time. He explains the science behind this extraordinary idea, and shows how the immune system can lead to aging and all aging-related diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Dr. Liponis also offers an innovative and practical seven-step program that not only gives you guidelines for a healthier life; it reveals some startling facts about aging. Did you know that big meals send the immune system into overdrive? That women who sleep six hours or less per night are 20 percent more likely to suffer heart problems? That rhythmic exercise is more helpful to the immune system than other kinds of exercise?

Along with an eight-day meal plan and more than fifty delicious recipes from Canyon Ranch's celebrated kitchen, UltraLongevity will help you stay sharp, keep fit, and feel younger than you ever imagined. Dr. Liponis promises more than a long life; he promises a long, healthy life.

Mark Liponis, MD, is the medical director of the Canyon Ranch Spa in all its locations. He is the coauthor of New York Times bestseller UltraPrevention, which won the 2003 Books for a Better Life Award in the health category..
