Reviews"Dr. Weil's common-sense approach to lifelong well-being has a lot of appeal. . . . Weil's message is hopeful and reassuring." - The Washington Post "Forget plastic surgery. Skip the pricey face creams and the drugs for creaky bodies. Natural-medicine champion Weil, who's now in his sixties, covers longevity research, aging, and how he's embracing the experience." - Life magazine, "Dr. Weil has arguably become American's best-known doctor." -The New York Times Magazine "Forget plastic surgery. Skip the pricey face creams and the drugs for creaky bodies. Natural-medicine champion Weil, who's now in his sixties, covers longevity research, aging, and how he's embracing the experience." -LifeMagazine "Weil wants us to be sensible about growing old. . . . He argues that we should not fight aging. There's no winning that war. Instead, we should concentrate on aging well." -The Washington Post From the Trade Paperback edition.

SynopsisInformative, practical, and uplifting, Healthy Aging draws on the new science of biogerentology (the biology of aging) as well as the secrets of healthy longevity--diet, activity, and attitude--gathered from cultures around the world, to create a book for all ages.
