Quickly and easily--find anti-aging and health strategies on the Internet

Even the most sophisticated Web surfer can become frustrated searching for specific health information on the Internet. The Internet Guide to Anti-Aging and Longevity tackles this problem by providing a comprehensive compilation of annotated links on health, aging issues, and longevity. This easy-to-use reference gives health professionals, researchers, or anyone looking for health and aging-related information a full-range listing of Web sites relating to anti-aging and health-related issues, including those with information on disease, longevity research, and experimental health approaches.

Beyond the actual listing of Web sites, the Internet Guide to Anti-Aging and Longevity also provides complete and clear explanations of Web addresses; instruction on evaluating Web content; using search engines and search directories, discussion groups, Web forums, and blogs; and instruction on using the 'invisible Web'--content not easily accessed through regular search engines. The guide includes screen captures, a glossary of health and Web terms you may encounter, a table of site types and geographic suffixes, a list of helpful health organizations, and a bibliography.

The Internet Guide to Anti-Aging and Longevity lists Web sites according to the different types of information you may be searching for, including:

• general health
