Living Agelessly is a comprehensive guide for maintaining health and fitness as we approach mid-life and beyond. It reflects the most frequently asked questions sent to the author’s column Dear Ageless, and emphasizes three broad areas:

  • The latest information about nutrition, exercise, and other areas related to maintaining the best health possible, both now and in the future;
  • Creating a secure and enjoyable retirement—rich with wonderful relationships, interesting travel, and rewarding experiences
  • The practical issues of growing older, both to prepare for your own greater comfort and for that of aging parents.

It addresses the questions that readers often ask: How can I stay healthy? How can I live with greater control and power in my life? How can I protect myself? How can I enjoy life more? Its extensive resource list - including useful books, telephone numbers of agencies and organizations, and websites that can be used for additional research - is a “jumping off” place to find those that you need.
