Healthy Aging

To absorb this technical lesson on aging, listeners will need to be comfortable with medical detail and be able to tolerate the ever-present flatness of Dr. Weil's professorial narration. But persistence pays off handsomely with useful insights on the biochemical mechanics of aging bodies and fascinating glimpses into lifestyles and diets around the world that influence how people age. He offers many practical suggestions for improving our physical and emotional health as we age. Most comforting is the author's wisdom regarding what we can change and what we need to accept as we move into our 60s and beyond. An indispensable addition to anyone's health and fitness library.
