Healthy, vibrant skin depends more on what you put in your cheeks than what you rub on them, says dermatologist Nicholas Perricone. In The Perricone Prescription, fresh salmon tops the list of must-eat foods for total body rejuvenation. In fact, it is the star of Perricone's "Three-Day Nutritional Face-Lift," a convincing trial run for those who are a bit hedgy about committing to his 28-day diet and his supplement, skin care, and exercise regimen.

Perricone's clear explanation about the adverse effects of inflammatory foods persuasively argues for shunning destructive, low-fat favorites (including watermelon, carrots, and bagels) and "culinary horrors" like pizza, pasta, and beef. Better to eat anti-inflammatory choices (those with a glycemic index of 50 or less) like salmon, halibut, and trout. While the book's mega list of recommended supplements is a bit hard to swallow (literally and figuratively), the supportive information Perricone supplies about each is certainly helpful.

LADIES, WE MUST TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES.

Best of his books

This is the first of Dr. Perricone's books I purchased. I liked it so well, I purchased the rest of them thinking there'd be updated recipes, & maybe some updated information. They are basically all the very same book, sometimes word for word, just different titles. I would recommend this book to anyone having complexion problems, or anyone just wanting to feel better. If you buy one of his books, there's really no need to purchase any of the others, unless you plan to share them with friends & family.

Great Gift

I recommend Perricone Prescription to anyone who wants to lead a healthier lifestyle and have younger looking skin. Dr. Perricone has an easy-to-read writing style. In addition, the book is not only informative but also inspiring. Both in content and in style "Perricone Prescription" reminds me of "Can We Live 150 Years?" by Dr. Tombak. I keep both titles as my reference books. Although I know all the simple ideas presented by Tombak, I always get new motivation to improve my well-being and to become 150 whenever I read that book again... Same with Perricone - I reach for the book whenever I feel that I start neglecting my skin again... In fact I also have the "Perricone Promise" - the more recent book of Dr. Perricone. However, I find a bundle of Perricone and Tombak a better combination as they supplement each other. In fact, I think that a bundle of one book of each of the authors make a very good gift idea for anyone who cares about their health, beauty, and longevity
