Infos

This guidebook was written under the direction of Prof. Dr. Reto W. Kressig – Medical Director of the Felix Platter University Centre for Geriatric Medicine, Basel – in collaboration with specialists from the fields of nutrition and sports science, theology, neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology and geriatrics, and provides up-to-date knowledge on the mainstays of healthy ageing. Packed with scientific details and practical guidance on good food, healthy sleep, the importance of a social network and physical fitness, this book offers important tips for the young and the old, for laypeople and experts alike for everyday, medium- and long-term issues – because everything we do has a long-term effect on our health!Contrary to previous assumptions, the way we age depends primarily on the lifestyle we choose, less so on our genes. Of course, it should be up to each individual to choose their own lifestyle. Ultimately, however, it is a fact that health in old age is a high priority for most people and it can be worthwhile to take the reins with the knowledge imparted. Whether we tend to avoid human contact or approach other people with interest to promote our brain fitness: Ageing is and remains a natural process, and life means changing, developing and maturing. The radical anti-ageing philosophy with its slogan “forever young” would be hostile to life!
