Living Longer and Better!

I have read many books on healthy aging and longevity and Dr. Bortz has written the very best! He gives the latest information on exercise, diet, rest, medication use, and dealing with a health crisis. He manages to do this in a friendly style,occasionlyy bringing in his own personal experiences along with his suggestions on getting the most out of life. I think everyone will enjoy the discussions on sex, maintaining your brain power, and the use of alternative medicine as it relates to older people. It's a worthwhile book for everyone - smart, dummie. old or young!
