Synopsis
This is an easy-to-understand and reassuring book that encourages us to retain a sense of independence and control over health and well-being. It looks at older age in a new way -- as a time when we can still feel good about ourselves, our bodies, our accomplishments, and our wisdom. Written by Evelyne Michaels in collaboration with Dr Michael Gordon -- Head of Geriatric and Internal Medicine at the world-renowned Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care -- the book provides a wealth of information on how to stay healthy and what to do when minor or major health problems occur.
From the Publisher
A Book which Acknowledges the Reality of Aging
Aging well has always been a challenge. But until recently, little attention was paid to the unique needs and concerns of older women and men. Now there's a book which acknowledges the reality of aging, without overlooking the strength and survivorship of those who grow old. It helps older people take control of their health instead of waiting passively to be cared for by others.
