Product Description
Though other skin-care experts have identified free radicals and cellular inflammation as key triggers to the breakdown of healthy skin, renowned dermatologist and former National Institutes of Health fellow Jeannette Graf, M.D., has discovered a way to prevent these saboteurs from developing in the first place—rather than just treating the symptoms they’ve caused.
Based on the scientifically groundbreaking premise that our cells—and consequently our skin—can only function best when the pH balance of our body is at its proper level, Dr. Graf’s four-part plan focuses on changing your body’s ratio of acids to alkalines. Most of us tend to eat three acidic-building foods (like sugar, refined carbs, meat, and dairy) for every one alkalinizing food (dark green leafy vegetables, garlic, onions, olive oil, lemon, fruit, nuts and seeds, and whole grains)—the reverse of the ideal ratio. And while changing your diet is important, food is not the only way to shift this ratio or reverse the cell aging that’s affecting your skin. The plan also includes detailed information on:
• daily alkalinizing “cocktails”
• quality calcium-mineral supplements
• probiotic supplements (good bacteria in a bottle)
• how to assess your skin and care for it accordingly—choosing the right cleansers, moisturizers, and treatments that will give you the most noticeable results (hint: many of these products line the shelves of your local drugstore)
• the joy prescription: activities that can add exhilaration and laughter to your life and increase the neuropeptides in the brain that actually rejuvenate skin cells
• nutrients in foods that enhance cell energy production and cell signaling
But don’t just take her word for it: Stop Aging, Start Living is filled with testimonials from her patients. Whether you want to see results fast (with her twenty-four-hour kickstart plan), ease into it (with the two-week prescription), or just incorporate a few Stop Aging, Start Living strategies into your life as they suit you, you’ll come away looking and feeling incredibly younger.

 Best of Beauty inside and out! September 28, 2007

Wow! Finally a book that does what it says. The testimonials and Dr. Graf's recommendations intrigued me so much that I made a special trip to the store to buy many of the featured products. I hate to admit it but I don't have a great diet. I LOVE red meat and drink a few too many glasses of wine each week. I tested my pH before the diet and it was at a 3.7, wups! After being on the diet for just a week I had already gotten up to almost a 6. I was shocked! I never really believed that it was so easy to live a healthier life.

Purchased this book with hopes it would further educate me on diet and skin care. The only new thing it opened me up to is the special "alkalizing cocktail". The lists of acid forming & alkalizing foods is confusing as other "drs" have much different opinions on the same foods. The rest of the methodology is all common sense, cut the stress, use skin care etc. As for the recipes included in the book, I have tried several, they are just okay. I have noticed feeling especially bloated since eating the recommended foods. I didn't need to spend $22.00 to find out things I already was aware of and to feel like a balloon.
Had I had a chance to flip thru this book in a store, I would not have purchased it.

Dr. Graf has been my dermatologist for many years. She is not only a dermatologist, but a doctor who takes your whole life into consideration and uses her scientific knowledge to help you. I was going through some "scary" health issues that none of my doctors could figure out. Dr. Graf took the "puzzle" of my life, put it together and found that the serious problem was in fact not serious, but something that could be fixed with concentrating on body wellness and healthy living. I have never felt better. It is only fitting that she write this book to reach out to others who don't have the luxury of coming to her practice. She is a true gem and a healer.

I loved this book! It just makes so much sense in a way that I could understand and it works!!! The recipes are fantastic and it's nice to know that I don't have to live on bean sprouts like some of the other books want us to. This book is a MUST READ!!!!!
