Blurb

The second edition of Long Life Strategy builds upon the practical tips and knowledge in the first edition by providing readers with an outline to living a longer, healthier, and more enjoyable late life. The book is divided into three different sections, which include what you can do to live a long life, what your doctor should be doing to help you achieve this goal, and what society, of which we are all part of, should be doing to better accommodate a growing number of older people in the coming decades.

Dr. Caplan begins by introducing what it means to live a longer life and explaining the current research on delaying, preventing, and reversing aging in our cells. The next chapters detail how to prevent diseases and conditions commonly associated with aging, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, mental health decline, sexual disfunction, and heart disease. The author also provides instruction for good diet and exercise choices. The concluding chapters provide useful advice for managing a fixed income, becoming a grandparent, dealing with the sickness and loss of a life partner, and how to maintain social relationships into late life. No matter where you are on life's journey, Long Life Strategy can provide a roadmap to living a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling late life.
