THE G-CONNECTION: HARNESS GRAVITY AND REVERSE AGING

The scientific approach to this subject of the power and finality of Gravity pressing down on us as we age was most enlightening. The NASA experience of weightlessness of the astronauts was a good review and added credibillity to the reasoning of why we all should be active and not be "couch potatoes." The encouragement and instruction of getting up and down from either a horizontal or sitting in a chair at least 16 times a day was most instructive.This book should be read by every citizen age 50 and above. The young obese children would not waste their time if they read this book. It may turn their life style around.

I enjoyed the G-Connection. It is written in a very readable format. I especially enjoyed reading the information that rarely makes it into scientific journals, for example, why the bed in the bed-rest studies is pitched 6 degrees head down to simulate microgravity. Lots of good information for budding researchers to investigate. Loaded with excellent anecdotal stories. The book is an excellent tribute to Joan Vernikos' career in Life Sciences at NASA. The references complete the book.

Joan is a wonderful guide and has added to my teaching repertorire.

I bought Dr Vernikos's other book too. Her findings on connecting aging to sedentary living are essential reading. The knowledge she imparts leaves you feeling empowered for the future. Brilliant.

I love Dr. Joan so really enjoy her books!

It was delivered according to specifications.

This book was way more informative than I expected it to be, and I learned quite a few things about the positive effects of gravity on the human body. I always thought gravity was the enemy, but apparently, it is our friend. It renewed my interest in doing squats and walking!!

I found Dr. Vernikos book very interesting. It has changed my daily life as I work to better harness gravity for my benefit. It all makes so much sense and is explained in a way that is easy to understand. This is not a book that I read cover to cover. Rather I slowly absorbed it chapter by chapter. I've re-read many parts of it and will keep it for future reference. I've emailed questions and Dr. Vernikos was happy to answer. I think we will hear more from her and on this subject in the future.
