Book Cover & Preview Text
The most important investment you can make in your senior years is the investment in your health. Too many people are aging too rapidly and are succumbing to illnesses that are preventable. Although this investment involves lifestyle and diet modification, their benefits come in spades. I was able to do it, and I am sure that you can do it too. My experience tells me that disease is not an inevitable part of aging. It is possible for us to not only live longer lives, but to live them in disease-free, healthier bodies. You must take charge of your health, because no one else is going to do it for you. These health benefits will be valuable many years into your future. Your face, body, and energy level are constant visible monitors of how well or how poorly you are aging. Looking good and having a healthy and energetic body during a long and happy life is not wishful thinking; it is your goal.
