Breaking the Rules of Aging by David A. Lipschitz, MD, PhD Lifeline Press ; ISBN: 0-89526-121-9 Hardcover - 272 pages (October 2002) $24.95 Forget failing eyesight and fragile bones-forget everything you thought you knew about aging; it's out of line with what the leading researchers know. And Dr. David Lipschitz — PBS's beloved “Doctor David” — is here to shatter some of the biggest myths, and to outline a new way to understand and manage the aging process. The big news? There are things you can do right now to dramatically reduce or eliminate the most common afflictions of old age. But they're not what you think! For example, don't lose that excess weight. The fact is, beyond your 50’s dieting is a bad idea; a little extra weight will help you live longer and feel better. Dr. David also examines the ailments commonly associated with aging-memory loss, vision impairment, Alzheimer's disease, etc. — and gives an in-depth review of their causes, risk factors, and treatments. He includes the number one factor that will keep you active beyond your 80s. There's none better than Dr. David to spread the good news about aging. He's shown millions of viewers of his award winning PBS series, in more than 300 cities, how to stave off the effects of time. With his special brand of wit, wisdom, and humor, Dr. David has brought cutting-edge insight to nutrition, exercise, memory loss, frailty, nursing home care, heart disease, creativity, and 19 other important topics including sexuality and aging. As director of one of the top ten geriatric programs in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report, Dr. David brings unparalleled medical knowledge that speaks to the concerns of nearly everyone over 50. "Aging," says Dr. David, "is better than it's ever been in the history of mankind." Click here to order from Amazon:
