Successful Ageing

By Robert Gingold

Elderly people as well as the middle-aged have been the victims of the 'youth culture' as negative stereotypes about aging have been popularized. This book seeks to dispel these myths which equate aging with disease and disablement. It is never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle in order to remain mentally alert, and physically vital. This helpful guide outlines preventative measures which promote good health. These include attention to a nutritionally based diet, moderate exercise, and methods to achieve emotional tranquility. The book contains up-to-date information on the prevention of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and many other common disorders. It also provides strategies for overcoming the psychological challenges caused by retirement and bereavement.
