Synopsis

In this eye-opening book, Dr Lamb reveals that it is entirely possible for most people to add years of healthy, vigorous living to their life spans. To back up this claim he gives scientific facts and advice showing what the individual can do now to help achieve this goal : specifically, to understand the changes that occur with the process of aging, and lean how to delay the adverse changes in order to maintain youthfulness and energy. Drawing on the latest scientific knowledge, the results of DNA-RNA research, and his own work as Chief of Medical Sciences with the U.S.A.F. School of Aerospace Medicine, Dr Lamb considers all the causes of aging and the bodily changes they produce. He reveals the effects of such factors as diet, exercise, relative obesity, smoking, coffee, drugs, drinking, and a variety of living habits on the aging process. You find tested diet suggestions you can adapt to your specific needs and a variety of easy-to-do exercises for particular purposes : to control body fat, to improve the cardio-vascular system, for body strength and posture. He also helps you to assess your own life style in order to determine which habits may be endangering your health. In Get Ready for Immortality, Dr Lamb explains how the individual organs and the different parts of the body work, discusses the diseases and aging processes they are subject to, and tells you what you can do to forestall and in some cases to reverse the aging process. Here, too, are scientifically sound answers to many health questions. Throughout the book are numerous tables, lists, and line drawings to clarify further the points the author is stressing. He examines the pros and cons of different types of diets, gives suggestions about living arrangements, social contacts and hobbies, etc.,..................
