"By 2050, the global population over age 60 is projected to expand to 2 billion. By then, 33 countries are expected to have more than 10 million people over the age of 60, the United States having 107 million."
Living longer is a real possibility if you have the information you need to slow the aging process. By paying attention to the physical, intellectual, nutritional and environmental areas of aging, you can live a more fulfilling life and choose a higher quality of life. Dr. David Demko presents an interactive guide with health related questions. Each chapter presents a T/F quiz for consideration. Should you try to eat oatmeal every day? Will reducing calories keep you younger? How do genetics and lifestyle factors figure into the entire equation? "Your chance of living for a hundred years has never been better." By taking proactive steps, you can take charge of your destiny. As we all live longer, this means more time spent in retirement. An entire section is dedicated to a discussion on retirement. If you want to know how long you will live, you can take a test. Each question asks you to take away or add points to the average age of 79. "Exercise burns calories even after you stop." An entire chapter is dedicated to "Head-to-Toe Miracle Makeovers." Dr. David Demko presents the facts, the negative and the positive aspects of various surgeries. If you are considering plastic surgery, this is an essential chapter to read. "Aging Intelligently" explores various types of intelligence like Linguistic or Spatial intelligence. When you are dancing or doing yoga, you are accessing Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. To keep your mind healthy you may want to learn to play the piano, take up dancing, read more, change your routine, try a new form of exercise, awaken a hidden talent or take up a new hobby. The topic of environmental factors is not overlooked, with lists of chemicals that are hazardous to your health. Some of the most interesting topics discussed include: Anti-Aging Supplements (what works and what doesn't), Dental Care, DHEA, Target Heart Rate, Spirituality, Humor and the idea of "My Pyramid." To end the book on a fun note, the author takes on "The Life Expectancies of the Rich and Famous." Jennifer Garner, Cindy Crawford, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lopez are featured. Each chapter ends with a resource section and there are numerous website options and books for further research. |
