Synopsis

A practical guidebook designed to show the over 60s how to look after themselves in an increasingly ageist world. Contains many proven medical facts which some readers may find uncomfortable (eg eating meat causes cancer though you are never too old to cut down meat consumption). There is bound to be someone somewhere who smokes 100 a day, eats raw steak three times a week, never exercises, is obese and lives to be 100. But most people who do these things need hospital care and die early. Learn how to retain your freedom, dignity, independence and sense of humour. Stay young in spirit, start again at 65 (or older) and live a bonus life. Replace the depressing, pessimistic certainties of old age with the hope and confidence-drenched ambition usually associated with the young. Dr Vernon Coleman, a qualified doctor, is the author of over 100 books which have sold over two million hardback and paperback copies in the UK, been translated into 25 language and sold around the world. He has written columns for many leading publications and presented numerous programmes on TV and radio. He was the writer of the world's first medical software for general use. His novel Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage was turned into a highly successful movie.
