Publisher's Synopsis
This is an easy-to-understand and reassuring book that encourages us to retain a sense of independence and control over health and well-being. It looks at older age in a new way -- as a time when we can still feel good about ourselves, our bodies, our accomplishments, and our wisdom. Written by Evelyne Michaels in collaboration with Dr Michael Gordon -- Head of Geriatric and Internal Medicine at the world-renowned Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care -- the book provides a wealth of information on how to stay healthy and what to do when minor or major health problems occur.
