With these strategies, you can win the battle against aging. Living a long life isn't only about measuring the number of years lived, but how we live them.

The book includes fitness tips for your body's "key players"--the heart, brain, bones, muscles, joints, immune system, and hormones. More and more studies are proving that we can strongly influence how long and how well we live. This fully revised and updated edition offers the smartest program for living a longer, healthier, better life
