Almost exactly nine months after World War II ended, “the cry of the baby was heard across the land,” as historian Landon Jones later described the trend. More babies were born in 1946 than ever before. By 1964, there were 76.4 million “Baby Boomers” in the United States, making up almost 40 percent of the nation’s population.

Dr. Eric Braverman hit the New York Times bestseller list with his first book Younger You.

As I’ve been telling my story these past few years about how I developed an anti-aging cookbook based on the food-is-medicine principle, I’ve expanded my method for creating delicious, comforting recipes designed to keep you young and healthy.
