Fitness program that probably works if you do it daily with a nice fairytale or esoteric story to go with...I not only doubt the promise of "Fountain of Youth". It's never been proven and as I googled the story..it's not even a known practice in Tibet.

Benefits of yoga and the power of positive thinking in a nutshell
While the content is presented as a discovered secret to the fountain of youth, the benefits of yoga and positive thinking are well documented. I believe that people who try these things will indeed achieve the benefit of being more youthful and happy! The exercises (rites) are not the crazy hard ones, but some people will have to do the best they can and they will improve daily until they can do them, and they will benefit rather quickly.
I don’t think the author intended to present a “nutshell” version of Yoga and positive thinking. His method for attaining the knowledge was more adventurous. However, if you were to ask a yoga expert to pick 5 doable exercises that would impart the biggest benefit to the average middle aged person, and ask a positive thinking expert to build a single exercise to kick start positive thinking, you would have the content of this book except for the diet suggestions.
I didn’t really agree with the diet suggestions, but at some point I may try them and see what happens. Regardless, I think this is a good book.

Come accade per qualunque ricompensa, si ottengono benefici unicamente in seguito agli sforzi compiuti. Dovete essere disposti a investire una piccola quantità di tempo e di energia nella pratica quotidiana dei cinque riti.
Mia mamma mi ha sempre ripetuto di trattenere da ogni persona quel che ha di buono, lasciando andare i lati negativi che, inevitabilmente gli appartengono.
Sono cresciuta applicando questa filosofia di vita non solo alle persone, ma anche ad ogni esperienza che vivo.
Mi piace vedere in questo modo anche i libri.
Di questo libro trattengo gli esercizi, i 5 riti appunto.
Cercavo qualche attività fisica da poter fare al mattino appena sveglia per dare quella scossa in più alla mia giornata. E l'ho trovata.
Lascio andare, invece, tutto il resto: come con dei semplici esercizietti si possa ringiovanire di 20 anni o più, come mangiando poco si possa essere più in forze (???) o di come si possa controllare l'istinto sessuale (ancora una volta... "???")

An interesting book proposing that a series of yoga movements can prolong your life; haven't tried to do them continuously so I can't say whether or not it works.
