A friend gave me this book but I can't say that I am sold on the inordinate amounts of SALMON that Dr. Perricone recommends. In fact, in this diet, you should just eat salmon at every meal!!! Really???

At the time of reading of this book in 2007, I decided to make these changes in my diet as a direct result and to see whether the nature glow of my skin enhances at all. Not sure I experienced much difference, in fact, this was all before I started juicing which REALY helped my skin and body and glow but I digress.

These are the recommendations:
-Wild caught salmon
-Other fatty fish, wild-caught
-Spinach
-More yogurt, plain, Greek Fage
-Fruits
-Turmeric
-Extra virgin olive oil
-Olives
-Tomatoes
-Garlic
-Lentils

I can say that I agree with most of this.I am not big into eating cooked salmon AT ALL. I love it raw of course but it's very expensive and not practical as a regular source of food.

This book may serve as a good reference in the kitchen along with your other cooking books. You can pick up ideas that you can incorporate in your diet in the span of an hour of reading. If your skin starts to glow as a result, all the better. If not, you will just be curious to continue searching for better health and vibrant through other methods.

Urges low-sugar/refined carbs, no coffee but green tea. Urges salmon (which I haven't had in a while) as the top protein. Also promotes virgin olive oil as a health food, but that way of thinking is changing lately, isn't it, from when this was released in 2002? Perricone states that healthy diet is the best anti-aging tool, and talks about different food's effects. He strongly recommends supplements as necessary but I've heard a good diet is all a person needs until they're old. He's very knowledgeable and explains all the topical vitamins and ingredients for good skin. He talks about exercise (even just a brisk walk), sleep, and the Perricone 28-day wrinkle-free program, which is basically about all these things but mostly diet (protein with every meal) and washing the face. Lots of before and after pics.
