A complete guide to staying fit and living a long life offers one hundred practical tips on nutrition, lowering stress, exercise, and more and includes important scientific data and interviews. This description may be from another edition of this product.
The book gives tips for improving your chances of living to be 100. For instance: know what a serving size is and measure your food until you learn to follow the recommended guidelines. That may seem pretty basic, but given the epidemic of obesity in the US, maybe we need the reminder. There are tips to prevent and manage medical conditions, develop healthy eating habits, and an explanation of the benefits of vitamins, minerals, hormones and supplements. The book tells how to stay safe in your home, outdoors and with food and water. It recommends lifestyle changes (exercise and behavior) to improve longevity. Stress, mental wellness and the importance of social connections (spirituality, companionship) are covered. Most of it we've read before in newspaper and magazine articles. The book isn't very exciting reading. The advantage though, is it's all pulled together and presented quite compactly. This might make a good birthday present for someone reaching a milestone age (50 or 60 or 70). I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to live well and avoid unnecessary suffering in their life.
