The Beauty Molecule - by Nicholas Perricone (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The first book in ten years from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D. introduces the beauty molecule--acetylcholine (AcH)--and delivers a program anyone can put into practice today to begin seeing benefits to their skin and overall health in 21 days.

Skin is the largest organ in the body, and also can be the body's canary in a coalmine: many skin conditions, from acne and rosacea to eczema and psoriasis, can be flags for larger underlying disease and deterioration.

Nicholas Perricone, M.D. has spent decades researching cellular health and its connection to both beauty and disease. Despite huge success in both book sales and product sales, he hasn't stopped scientific exploration. Building on his original work with his most recent observations and clinical experience, THE BEAUTY MOLECULE reveals:

How to slow mitochondrial aging with amino acids, glycine and N-Acetyl cysteine
Tap the power of master metabolic regulators
The Vagus nerve/beauty molecule connection
The magic bullet is hydrogen--small but mighty, and able to forestall and reverse cellular degeneration. It can restore muscle tone in body and skin, improve learning and memory, and lead to external radiance and a stronger shot at a healthy longer lifespan--it's a true mind-beauty connection.

Dr. Perricone's new anti-inflammation diet features hydrogen water (Dr. Perricone sells a proprietary brand of H water, but gives readers the formula to make their own with distilled water and inexpensive tablets they can buy online) and a robust eating plan that includes nuts, seeds, cruciferous vegetables, grass-fed beef, specific beans (particularly kidney beans), free-range poultry, dairy and eggs. It's far from restrictive, and points readers who may have unintentionally been starving their skin--and their mitochondria--toward nourishing themselves. On top of food, Dr. Perricone's complete Beauty Molecule Program includes breathing, movement, sunlight, and topicals--everything within reach of readers.

THE BEAUTY MOLECULE introduces Antioxidant 3.0, and ushers in a new era of smart beauty.
