Interesting book. Most of us want to live long but how to attain it? We all know the basics -- Don't smoke, don't drink too much alcohol, eat your fruits and vegetables, do not each junk food, exercise, etc. We are used to being told what to do or what not to do, but we are often not told the reasons for that. Why should we or shouldn't we do something? How much we should eat or exercise? Why should we lift weights if we have no ambition for a great looking body? Not only "what" but also "why", "how" and "how much" should we do a particular thing to be as healthy as possible? Should we take vitamins and supplements? Is there anything that we should definitely start or stop doing now or in the future to extend our lives? Some doctors might help us with these questions but most of them are too preoccupied treating the sick and have not time or the will for the prevention health maintenance...
Where can we turn to find the answers? Many of them you will find in this book. For some others you might have to search further. As the author states: "the mission of this book is to present the case for living to 100 or more and living well all the while". Longevity is not an isolated phenomenon any more. It is a direct consequence of health maintenance. The author of another book titled "Body Maintenance Handbook" predicts that we have the potential to live up to 150 years. All we need is to attain enough knowledge about the way our body functions to be capable of eliminating the causes of our illnesses and to prolong our lives. Get these books and study how to do that all. Live long and healthy!

The Roadmap to 100: The Breakthrough Science of Living a Long and Healthy Life Overview
With a baby boomer turning sixty every ten seconds, we are rapidly becoming an aging society. But cutting edge research on the connection between age and disease shows us that many of the preconceptions we had about how to grow old need a second look. This groundbreaking book is full of take-away prescriptive advice which the nearly seventy-five million boomers in this nation will value. Top gerontologist and Stanford medical school professor Dr. Walter Bortz and co-author Randall Stickrod draw on new science and a thirty-year longitudinal study of centenarians to show that:
• Genetics plays a smaller role in aging than previously thought
• Senility, dementia, and other diseases of the elderly, are largely preventable and not an inevitable consequence of aging
• Engagement, through sexual relationships, social interaction, and professional activity, is a key factor in long, healthy lives
• Physical fitness can recover at least 30 years of aging
Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, The Roadmap to 100 gives you the power to control your own destiny and live well beyond 100.
