Growing Older

Use It Or Lose It is the former great Olympic champion Peter Snell's challenge to us as we contemplate health and fitness in old age. After researching this subject as a scientist for many years, Snell is writing a book for the general reader. There is a crisis all over the world, asserts Snell, in the mounting health problems associated with poor exercise and worse eating habits. For the first time, life expectancy is on the verge of shrinking. Now a world expert on the relationship between ageing, physical fitness and health, Snell has strong views on what we can all do to keep fit, eat well and be happy. You'll enjoy life longer, claims Peter Snell, if you take on board the messages in this book. Use It Or Lose It contains a wide range of suggested activities and exercises and sound dietary information to enable you to take control of your lives. First published July 2006.
