Book description

Aging is a subject of concern to everyone, but is widely misunderstood. If we view it as inevitable, we miss the fact that not everyone is able to grow to an old age. Realization of this reality helps us to understand that aging presents a wonderful opportunity - an opportunity to make choices about how we live which can enhance the aging process and offer a chance to live to our potential. This book clearly presents the four, multiple reserve, factors (cognitive, physical, psychological and social) which impact our ability to have healthy responses to the stresses of aging. By giving the biological basis for the advice given, you will learn the steps to take in your activities, diet and mental outlook to grasp the opportunity that aging offers. Everyone must know that what we do makes a difference.

Reviews

''One excellent way to improve memory is through stories’, Prof. Friedland states in his book. And this book is not short of stories about our own, human, story. These enjoyable and informative stories stem from Prof. Friedland’s vast clinical and neuroscience experience, shared in an entertaining and yet highly scientific manner. He encourages us to be an active participant in our own care and fierce in the pursuit of what’s best for us and our health. In unrevealing the complex story of ageing and demystifying the ageing process, we are served with simple, scientifically based tips how to un-age. Please use them throughout your own (ageing) life and build your own stories each day.’

‘Unaging is a beautiful capstone to the demonstration of chronic disease as modifiable by our choices, and not inevitable. Friedland writes with great authority as one of the first to research physical and mental determinants, microbiome, and minority disparities. … In an age so reliant on costly drugs and risky interventions, Friedland’s message is all the more needed by medical professionals, their patients, and those wanting to avoid being patients.’
