The authors,
Brian N. Cox & Tian Yong, take you on a journey to the beautiful
mountain city of Chongqing,
China. It is here, that we will learn the
secrets. What enables these people to be
seemingly ageless?
Perched
beside the Yangtze, the "Golden River”, Chongqing
symbolizes Yangtze River civilizations.
It is the cradle of Bayu culture.
Chongqing is famous for its gorgeous woman. This is where the
ancient study of rejuvenation has been studied and developed over the centuries. Grand Master Tian Yong is the leading
practitioner of this ancient art.
In this culture, the emphasis is not
on looking young. Looking young is a natural benefit to the healthy lifestyle
that the people lead. Elders are
respected and revered. Their life
experiences are invaluable. They sought
for advice and guidance. They are alert
and sharp- mentally. Moreover, they are
fit and flexible- physically. The
secrets to their longevity and quality of life are all in the handbook. You will refer back to this book, repeatedly.
The authors patiently walk you through
the process of aging and causes of accelerated/destructive aging. Some topics will make be familiar and may
seem like common sense. Other areas may
seem foreign and different, but the authors will explain everything thoroughly.
Once you have an understanding of
this, you will be prepared to learn the thirteen vital steps to reversing
aging. I will list them, but keep in mind;
there are lengthy & specific descriptions for each- in the book.
Thirteen Vital Steps
- · Exercise
- · Diet & nutrition

- · Power of the mind

Interview
K- Tian, I have seen your pictures and you are
a beautiful woman. Your skin is perfect- without a line. I can’t believe that
you’re fifty. Have you experienced
challenges in maintaining your routines now that you have left China?
T- Yes, it is necessary to adjust your
daily routine when living in North America.
Five or ten miles of daily walking is replaced with a car. Also, the diet is much different. It is not an impossible task however; I walk
to the store and carry my bags home while my neighbors drive their cars. I always make time for a long daily
walk. North Americans do not have the
variety of vegetables we have in Chongqing but it is still possible to eat a
large variety. I avoid processed
packaged foods and sugar. I am fortunate
to grow up in a non-sugar culture so it is easy to avoid sugar in my diet. Other than these two things, living the age
reversal lifestyle is quite easy in North America.
K- Tian- are you planning to teach the special
Chinese massage?
T- No, I think my teaching days have
drawn to a close. There are many things
to do in life and so little time. I
love to paint, to play musical instruments and to practice taiji. I loved to walk in the mountains, enjoy the
scenery and fresh air, and meditate in a peaceful environment. There are no mountains where I live in Canada
but Canada is still a very beautiful country with fresh air. I return to Chongqing frequently as I miss
the mountains and the Chongqing restaurants.
K- Brian, how long have you been following
these guidelines and what kind of a difference has it made in your life?
B- I met Tian Yong about eleven years
ago but didn’t really adapt to the age reversal lifestyle until I moved to
China in 2007 and lived for four years in Chongqing. I have always been a “health nut” so it
wasn’t hard to adapt, even to the diet which was quite different than my diet
in Canada. I eat probably four times as
many vegetables daily than I did in North America and not having a car has been
a great help. Chongqing is a mountain
city so half the walking is uphill. I
had practiced taiji for many years before meeting Tianyong but now I know how
to adapt it to age reversal….Tian Yong has taught me what I should be doing with
my mind so it becomes an age reversal exercise. I am 72 now, but except for arthritis in my
knees (which don’t seem to bother me anymore) I seem to have the same strength,
flexibility, quickness and energy as I had 20-30 years ago.
K- Have you both been receiving fan mail from
happy readers that have followed your advice?
B or T- Not really, the book has only been available for a short
period of time and I am clueless how to market it. Learning how to market the book is on my
“things to do list”. For the first two
years that Tian Yong lived in Canada, she taught several women how to do the
acu-point massage to prevent and reduce wrinkles…..she got rave reviews from
them as apparently their friends and spouses noticed a big difference in their
appearance. (Brian)

K- If someone were to take away just one good
piece of advice from this book, what would that be?
B- Tian Yong says you cannot pick and choose what to do; you must
adapt the whole program into your lifestyle.
When I pressed her, she reluctantly said that keeping very active seven
days a week is important….doctors’ advice about 30 minutes exercise 4 or 5 days
a week won’t suffice. Also, if you
don’t know the “rejuvenation exercises” learn Yang Style taiji (tai chi) upon
which the exercises are based. Be sure
to visualize yourself young (use a photo from your 20’s to remind you) when
doing taiji. Always visualize yourself
as young and never say…”I can’t do that at my age”….you are never too old. Of course a diet consisting primarily of
vegetables and fruit is important.
Walk…don’t drive. Take the
stairs, not the elevator. Park as far
away from the Mall doors as possible….you get the idea. To reduce or prevent wrinkles, perform the
acu-point massage daily, which is clearly explained in the last chapter of the
book.
K-Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information
with the world. I am already making some
changes in my life and will be recommending that others read your book.
