Summary

Nobody wants to get old. And why would they? The aging process eventually affects every one of our body systems from mental function and sexual performance to physical appearance, ability, and strength. But chronological age has little to do with a person's biological age: Some people are old at fifty, while others are still sharp and spry at ninety.Today's scientists know quite a bit about what causes a person to grow old. The things we've always considered "normal aging" are actually caused by physiological problems that, in many cases, respond to medical treatment and healthy lifestyle habits. AS a result, the human life span can be significantly increased while maintaining or even improving quality of life!This contemporary approach to aging-known as anti-aging medicine--is a clinical specialty practiced by more than 30,000 physicians worldwide. It applies advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunctions, disorders, and diseases.Soon we will all be able to look forward to a future of boundless health and vitality by implementing anti-aging approaches to help us feel, look, and perform better today. Readers can start by enjoying 121 Ways to Live 121 Years . . . and More!-a handbook for living a long and healthy life. This book provides hundreds of practical tips readers can implement today to help them live a satisfying and productive life.
