Growing Older

The New York Times-bestselling Okinawa Program times four. Not just another book on ageing or longevity, this is a paradigm shifting book that will show 77 million baby boomers, and especially the 24 million who are already over age 50 that they do not need to live and die like their parents. This book takes on the self-fulfilling fears of ageing and shows readers that the illnesses (heart disease, Alzheimer's, etc.) that we assume are inevitable are in fact not a natural part of ageing and can be avoided with healthy diet and lifestyle choices. John Robbins presents the secrets of four of the world's healthiest and longest-lived peoples together with the latest findings of medical science in order to help readers live longer and live healthier. "Sometimes I think we have not so much prolonged our lives, as prolonged our dying. While we have extended the human life span, we have not extended the human health span." As he shows in this paradigm shifting book, we can prolong our health span along with our life span.
