| Annotation | Older people aged 85 years and over now constitute the fastest-growing population in the United States (US), with a substantial increase in the number of centenarians. The authors of this book gives advice on how people can develop and enhance their longevity potential by focusing on the brain-body connection, which is the interaction among three factors: health of the brain; attitudes and thought patterns; and physical health. In particular, the importance of handling stress, lifelong education, mental activity, social relationships, and physical exercise are highlighted as key factors for longevity. (AKM). |
