Every human being has a limited amount of life energy, they say, and the speed with which it is consumed determines the lifespan. Citing the scientifically recognized Metabolic Theory, the book explains how being \"lazy\" -- being calm, eating temperately, reducing or avoiding sports, exercising moderately, and limiting ambition -- can boost the immune system and increase longevity. Included are energy-saving suggestions about eating, working, and exercising; quizzes to determine stress level, life energy, and physical well-being; and valuable tips, charts, and advice on this controversial idea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Axt,Michaela Axt-Gadermann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.53w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780897934015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePROFESSOR PETER AXT is a health scientist, the author of several books and numerous essays in medical journals, an advisor to political leaders and athletes in Germany, and a former marathon runner for the German National Track and Field Team.
