Description

Part 1. A new look at health, change, and aging -- part 2. Ten tips to achieve authentic health and successful aging -- part 3. Where do we go from here?;Over a decade ago, a landmark ten-year study by the MacArthur Foundation shattered the stereotypes of aging as a process of slow, genetically determined decline. Researchers found that 70 percent of physical aging, and about 50 percent of mental aging, is determined by lifestyle, the choices we make every day. That means that if we optimize our lifestyles, we can live longer and die shorter --compress the decline period into the very end of a fulfilling, active old age.
