Description
'Essential reading' – Age UK
Sod 70! Keep fit, keep the brain going, and with a spot of good fortune you can be living a fulfilling, active life in your 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond!
Too many people think that ageing inevitably causes problems after seventy, but a lot of these can in fact be postponed or prevented because they are not caused by ageing, but by a loss of fitness, preventable disease, ageism and the negative beliefs and pessimistic attitudes that pervade society.
Shake off the stereotypes and empower yourself by adopting the simple actions described in this book. Keep fit, eat well, keep your brain active, and with a spot of good fortune you can be living a rewarding, active life into your eighties, nineties and beyond. Live better for longer, and remember, seventy is the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end!
This edition includes new chapters on:
- The brain and the mind (including dementia prevention)
- Managing your NHS service
- Taking charge of your healthcare in the digital world
- Fighting back after lockdown
Part brain and body exercise book, part manifesto for a happier, healthier life – this book will show you how to Sod Seventy! and live life to the fullest.
