Would you like to live to be 100? Hmm? Maybe, with a couple of caveats: Loved ones who stick around, and good health for all. The author of Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World’s Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples
From the book’s Website:
“In this revolutionary new book, bestselling author John Robbins presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our life span but also our health span. Through the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world’s healthiest, oldest people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness. From Abkhasia in the Caucasus south of Russia, where age is beauty, and Vilcabamba in the Andes of South America, where laughter is the greatest medicine, to Hunza in Central Asia, where dance is ageless, and finally the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa, the modern Shangri-la, where people regularly live beyond a century, Robbins examines how the unique lifestyles of these peoples can influence and improve our own.”
“Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction. The result is an inspirational synthesis of years of research into healthy aging in which Robbins has isolated the characteristics that will enable us to live long — and most important — joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, but satisfying fare, and the addition of a manageable daily exercise routine, many people can experience great improvement in the quality of their lives now and for many years to come.”
“But perhaps more surprising is Robbins’ discovery that it is not diet and exercise alone that help people to live well past one hundred. The quality of personal relationships is enormously important. With startling medical evidence about the effects of our interactions with others, Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World’s Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples

OK, Geri, thanks for that, looks like I am 64 going on 100, like they say “if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of my body”. OK, keep up the good work, Ed Smith, http://www.brightmoment.com
That’s a great title. As it’s short (just 3 words) right to the point. And the subtitle is also very concise and satisfied over the readers’ key desires, even Ed has something in it for him!
It’s amazing though isn’t it how many old people find something that keeps them positive with a gleam in their eye and they become an inspiration to all of us and give us great advice. And always seem to have great senses of humor, they laugh and joke a lot.
That title also gives the impression of a new twist – you can do it at any age. Other books may have covered this before, but this makes out it is new. This will draw many passing people in. Subconsciously we like the new.
