Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging

Awesome book that I should have read years ago. Not when I’m already getting older. Had fun though. It’s very thorough.

I've been referring to this book for years now. The book is full of very useful information for the aging body.

Damaged with shipping on corners

I’m tired of the very few people who have lived to my age turning 80 this coming November can only talk about how difficult the days are now. I disagree with negative. I have arthritis and have had Orthopedic surgery 6 times. So grateful that all my replacements are done. Best hospital and doctors are prayed for the work they do. I’m still very busy but stop when things get me tired. Then I say prayers for medical care and help like this book. Thankful

Luckily I wasn’t giving this as a gift because the book cover looks like it’s been in a war zone. Ok for me but not as a gift.

This is an excellent easily readable “how to” book on bettering our healthspan. I found important information in every chapter. I have applied most of the recommendations. I highly recommend this book for those interested in improving physical and mental health thru lifestyle changes

I loved everything about the book, including the Additional Resources and Inspirational Stories of Peers. My decision to buy this book came on the heels of reading The Mayo Clinic Diet, which is really not about dieting, but about making better choices about food, exercise, movement, social networks and community connections, etc. The two books go a long way in dispelling myths about aging while empowering Peers in their later years to experience positive life change by implementing the wisdom shared by the authors. Chapter 14, Improving Your Physical Health with Exercise includes illustrations and instructions for exercises you can do at home.

The book was very informative and easy to read

Well written, super helpful

Very basic information. For almost all of the illnesses listed the recommendation was always the same - enough sleep, exercise, a balanced diet and avoid alcohol and smoking. Although the book was very well organized I did not gain any new information. Very disappointing!
