Living to be 100 is not out of the range of possibility for anyone. Written in easy to understand, non-technical terms, and using a ten best list format, Drs. Fatteh present the latest collected wisdom of the medical establishment and review and prescribe for the myriad other factors related to living to 100, including alternative medicine. By reviewing the demands and stresses of each decade the authors help the reader focus on choices in each decade of life to help themselves live longer through the application of common sense and science.
Tables in the appendices allow the reader to customize many factors under discussion. This reference text focuses on the major elements generally conceded to be important for healthy living: diet, exercise, stress reduction, discussions of select serious illnesses, and more holistically, the major systems in the body-understanding how they work and how one should care for them. But Drs. Fatteh go beyond this, recognizing life style issues: mental and spiritual outlook, reducing stress, sleeping appropriately, not smoking, and loving well.
This is a broad based discussion of longevity issues with a style of writing that will help the reader develop and keep a positive, focused can-do attitude. An very practical book, with minimal biases. As Fatteh writes, "100 is a good age to strive for, for starters."
