Synopsis

Forget failing eyesight and fragile bones-forget everything you thought you knew about ageing; 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 ageing 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! 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 ageing-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. With his special brand of wit, wisdom, and humour, 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 ageing.
