It's never too late to change how you think, feel, and look. As we
get older, our bodies go through a lot of changes. Most are out of
our control. But for those that aren't, sometimes all we need is
some guidance on how to make specific, sustainable, and successful
modifications that can alter the course of how our lives go from
that point forward. This is where you can benefit from exercise and
eating plans from Joan MacDonald. Just a few years ago, this
septuagenarian wasn't happy with how she looked and with what she
ate. With help from her daughter Michelle-a certified strength and
conditioning specialist-Joan developed exercise and diet goals as
well as objectives for how to change her mindset-not just how she
saw herself physically but how she felt about herself mentally
regardless of her physical fitness. Train With Joan showcases these
goals and objectives to help you with your own desires. Whether you
want to modify what you eat, start with a better exercise routine,
or gain insights on how to develop and consider different
perspectives about your thought processes, this book has just what
you need to make changes today, changes tomorrow, and changes for
the remainder of your life-long may you live. This isn't your
typical exercise book or your standard cookbook or your
tried-and-true self-help guide. Train With Joan offers fresh,
exciting, and engaging ways to get more out of your life. These
features include: - 40+ exercises for stretching, strength
training, cardio, post-workout, and more - Fitness routines to help
you get the most out of all the exercises - 40+ recipes for
proteins, vegetables, starches, sweets, and more - Meal plans to
help you prepare the best meals for your caloric needs - Mindset,
motivational, and aspirational guidance from Joan Change is
intimidating, but with help from Train With Joan on your journey,
you'll learn what you're capable of-and how to enrich yourself no
matter at what stage in life you are. Everything you need to get
started-and to stay dedicated to change-is inside this book.

Nir Barzlai, M.D., founded the Institute for Aging Research at the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine over twenty years ago. His most
fascinating study features a patient population of 600 centenarians
- individuals who maintain active lives well into their 90s and
100s - and, more importantly, reached that milestone never having
experienced the so-called big four: cardiovascular disease, cancer,
diabetes and cognitive decline. Dr. Barzlai identified three
clusters of genetic mutations - connected to levels of cholesterol,
growth hormones and peptides produced in their cells' mitochondria
- that correlate to centenarians' enviable lifespan and healthspan.
In Age Later, he translates those findings to news readers can use
- including taking melatonin and using intermittent fasting - to
mimic some of the effects of the 'super agers'' genetic code.
'Exactly what is needed. Sensible advice from someone who really
knows what she is talking about.' John Humphrys Across the world,
50 million people live with dementia. Even more are affected by the
dementia of parents, partners, siblings or friends. But still, most
people who are diagnosed, or who are dealing with the diagnosis of
a loved one, feel as though they are alone. Dementia: The One-Stop
Guide aims to fill this gap, providing practical information and
support for living with, or caring for, someone with dementia. It
offers clear and sensible information about recognising symptoms,
getting help, managing financially, staying at home, treatment,
being a carer and staying positive. Updated to include new research
on sleep, exercise and reducing dementia risk, information on
inherited dementias and guidance on care homes and legal issues,
this guide will help those with dementia and their families make
sure that they can stay well and happy for as long as possible.
Learn to use your later years for awakening and spiritual growth.
Encouraging, inspiring, and practical, "The Grace in Aging" invites
all those who have ever experienced spiritual longing to awaken in
their twilight years. Since aging, in and of itself, does not lead
to spiritual maturity, "The Grace in Aging" suggests and explores
causes and conditions that we can create in our lives, just as we
are living them, to allow awakening to unfold--transforming the
predictable sufferings of aging into profound opportunities for
growth in clarity, love, compassion, and peace.
Kathleen Dowling Singh streamlines vast and complex teachings into
skillful means and wise views. Straightforward language and
piercing questions bring Singh's teachings into the sharp focus of
our own lives; the contemplative nature of each chapter allows for
an uncommon depth of inquiry. Examples from our lives and from the
chatter in our own minds touch the reader personally, offering the
chance to absorb the implications deeply and do the work of freeing
his or her own mind. Ecumenical in spirit, tone, and language,
Singh offers wisdom from teachers from a variety of spiritual
backgrounds: Chogyam Trungpa, the Apostles, Annie Dillard, and
more. Lessening our attachments, decreasing our aversions,
unbinding what binds us, we bear witness to the possibility of
awakening for all beings.
"The Grace in Aging "offers guidelines for older individuals of
any wisdom tradition who wish to awaken before they die; no need
for caves or seven-year retreats. This is spiritual practice for
the lives we live.

Frank Lipman, MD, is a leader in wellness and integrative and
functional medicine, and The New Rules of Aging Well contains

impact on how you age, and here you'll learn how to make the best
choices in order to look younger and feel better all around.

rules to know, you'll learn that "The Most Effective Antiaging
Mechanism Is Eating Less" and that "Night Eating Makes You Fat";
whether "16-Hour Fasting" is worth all the hype; that "Sugar Is the
Worst Food You Can Put in Your Body;" to "Sleep More and Sleep
Better" and to "Eat Mushrooms for Longevity"; about "Common Meds
That Shouldn't Be Common"; that "Bone Broth Heals Holes in the
Gut"; and the mantra "Do No Harm." And what happens when you follow
the rules? An increased health span, where you'll look great and
feel energetic, happy, sexy, agile, and strong.

helping to change the way Americans approach eating. This new
edition illustrated by celebrated artist Maira Kalman--and expanded
with a new introduction and nineteen additional food rules--marks

doesn't have to be so complicated and that food is as much about

humor, joy, and common sense toward a happier, healthier
relationship to food.
A medically proven program to prevent and reverse the DNA damage
that causes aging
You have it in your power to retain the health, beauty, and

grow older, but it's a medically proven fact that how we age is a
choice. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can reap amazing
visible and tangible benefits in just a few days--and this
groundbreaking book shows you how.
Written by an all-star team of internationally acclaimed anti-aging
experts, The Anti-Aging Solution is the first guide to reveal how
you can reverse aging on a genetic level. By following a uniquely

* Have more youthful, radiant skin
All around us, older women flourish in industry, entertainment, and
politics. Do they know something that we don't, or are we all just
trying to figure it out? For so many of us, our hearts and minds
still feel that we are twenty-something young women who can take on
the world. But in our bodies, the flexibility and strength that
were once taken for granted are far from how we remember them.
Every day we have to rise above the creaky joints and achy knees to
earn the opportunity of moving through the world with a modicum of
grace. Yet we do rise, because it's a privilege to grow old, and
every single day is a gift. Peter Pan's mantra was "never grow up";
our collective mantra should be "never stop growing." This
collection of user-friendly stories, essays, and philosophies
invites readers to celebrate whatever age they are with a sense of
joy and purpose and with a spirit of gratitude.
