Book Description

November 1993
The health guide that has help 350,000 older Americans preserve their quality of life through healthy habits and medical self-care

Modern Medicine Allows Us to Live Longer, but those added years are no benefit if we become debilitated and ill. Living Well shows what we can do to stay healthy, active, and happy for many decades. The author, an expert on arthritis and self-care for the elderly, shares proven advice on avoiding the common diseases of aging, such as diabetes. Then, using the tested Take Care of Yourself approach, he provides home treatment and decision charts for older readers' most likely symptoms (Pain in the Muscles and Joints) and problems with daily activities (Climbing Stairs). Reset in larger print for easier reading, Living Well also covers paying for health care and living wills, topics important to readers but not found in other books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Simple, basic, standard health info, October 10, 2007
If you're well read in the field of health and nutrition, don't expect to learn anything new from this book. It's the most basic type of health guide, like your insurance company hands out.
