A rousing call to rethink the aging process
Over a decade ago, a landmark ten-year study by the MacArthur Foundation shattered the stereotypes of aging as a process of slow, genetically determined decline. Researchers found that that 70 percent of physical aging, and about 50 percent of mental aging, is determined by lifestyle, the choices we make every day. That means that if we optimize our lifestyles, we can live longer and ”die shorter”–compress the decline period into the very end of a fulfilling, active old age.
Dr. Roger Landry and his colleagues have spent years bringing the MacArthur Study’s findings to life with a program called Masterpiece Living. In Live Long, Die Short, Landry shares the incredible story of that program and lays out a path for anyone, at any point in life, who wants to achieve authentic health and empower themselves to age in a better way.
I wrote this book to be Healthy Aging 101. I want it to allow the reader to step back from the barrage of health and medical claims out there, and with the rational, core criteria provided in this book, be able to decide what they need to do to be truly healthy and age in a better way. This book is for those who want to thrive but are unsure of how to change and what changes to make to stay vibrant as they age.
