Each chapter has bullet points to help you sort through the important concepts for easy reference.

I really enjoyed the book. It emphasized the importance of diet, exercise and sleep. I need to work on the sleep! Exercise and maintaining a fairly balanced diet has been a part of my lifestyle since the late 70’s. What I did learned is that I need to add a few dietary supplements.
