How to Live Longer and Feel Better introduces to a new generation of health-conscious readers Linus Pauling's regimen for healthy longevity. Eminently readable and challenging, and a New York Times bestseller when it was first published in 1986, Pauling's seminal work helped to revolutionize the way Americans think about nutrition.
Pauling's simple, inexpensive plan suggests avoiding sugar, stress, and smoking, working in a job that you like, and being happy with your family. To avoid serious illness and enjoy a longer live, he recommends taking vitamins for optimum health and as insurance against disease.
Paulings greatly influenced subsequent research regarding the role of nutrition in healthy living, coining the term "orthomolecular medicine" to describe the practice of using vitamins and other substances normally present in the body to improve health and fight colds and other viruses, cancer, heart disease, allergies, arthritis, and other illnesses. Some of Pauling's findings have been challenged, but the essential tenets of his thesis on the importance of optimum nutrition remain undisputed. This edition has been updated and with new information and resources from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University.
Whether one reads Pauling's book for his prescription for healthy living, for an understanding of his impact on nutritional science today, or for its historical importance, one cannot escape the concluding that diet and lifestyle are the keys to disease prevention.
Linus Pauling (1901-1994), the only individual to win two unshared Nobel Prizes, is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century. Pauling was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, the 1962 Nobel Peace Price, and the National Medal of Science.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Linus Pauling makes reference to Bronson Pharmaceuticals (Now Bronson Laboratories) in his books. During the first publication of this book, Innovite Inc. enjoyed a close working relationship with Bronson Pharmaceuticals and manufactured a full line of Sustained Release tablets for Bronson from the late 1970’s to 1990. The Innovite/Bronson association flourished because of our mutual commitment to quality and research, along with strong ties to the medical community.
This association ended after Frank Bronson died and the family sold the business to Jones Medical Industries in 1993.
