advice is mostly commonsensical and scientifically sound, and

Why do
some people age in failing health and sadness, while others grow
old with vitality and joy? In this revolutionary book,
best-selling author John Robbins presents us with a bold new
paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our
lifespan but also our health span.
Through
the example of four very different cultures that have the
distinction of producing some of the world's healthiest, oldest
people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and
fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of
wisdom, vitality, and happiness. Bringing the traditions of
these cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical
science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in
the same direction.
