| About the Book | |
|
An innovative picture book for grownups, written in verse, with all the information needed to age successfully. Whether the reader is young, middle-aged, or senior, following the advice in this book will lead to an outcome far better than any pill, hormone, or procedure that money can buy. It contains scientifically-based advice on healthy behaviors that summarizes the wisdom of the authors' combined 70+ years in the field of aging. The authors' long careers in clinical geriatric medicine gave them the experience of counseling thousands of people concerning how to best achieve a vigorous and healthy old age. They hope that by having chosen the format of a cartoon picture book for its enjoyable, engaging, and easily understood format, they will have the best chance of convincing people to change unhealthy behaviors and maximize their chances for an active and high quality life. Topics covered include physical activity, mental and social engagement, nutrition and healthy behaviors, sex, spirituality, bowel habits, sleep, and others related to successful aging. "Rocket science for getting people to age successfully...the reading highlight of the year, pulling people gently and willingly from unhealthy lifestyles to healthy behaviors. Positive aging has never been so fun!" says Dr. Marvin Formosa, Director, United Nations International Institute on Aging (INIA).
