While there are plenty of books offering advice about how to age, none takes the crucial step back to challenge how people think about ageing -- until now. The Aging Syndrome, the core idea in this book, explains the ageing process by using three pillars: intrinsic ageing, the ageing process that no one understands; disuse, both physical and mental; and chronic disease processes, which begin in childhood or sometimes in the womb. Using practical steps and plain language, this volume is the only guide needed for developing a plan for growing older. By presenting a better way to think about ageing, it reveals what everyone can do to live a longer life.
