Cleveland Clinic Medical Guide Maps Plan For Healthy Aging In 'Age Well!'

Cleveland, OH (PRWeb) July 18, 2007 -- Robert Palmer, M.D., section head of geriatric medicine at Cleveland Clinic, www.clevelandclinic.org, has drawn from decades of experience treating the medical and psychological issues of aging to author "Age Well!." This consumer medical guide from Cleveland Clinic Press offers advice on healthy aging and living well in the present.

"While everyone wants to age gracefully, many people don't know where to start," Dr. Palmer says. "Most people assume they have no control over the aging process, but the reality is you can plan for age-related health changes the way you plan financially for retirement. Actively planning is the key to living well in your senior years."

There's no magic formula for optimal aging, Dr. Palmer says, noting in his health book that growing older happily has nothing to do with wrinkle-free skin, but rather, one's ability to function and to remain independent, mobile and cognitively sound.

"Age Well!" provides explanations for the natural changes that occur during the aging process, educating readers on how the body advances and offering insight especially helpful for those seeking to preserve their health and the health of loved ones.

In his medical book, Dr. Palmer also covers the biology of aging, the aging brain and nervous system, senior sexuality, eating for life, weight management and making sense of your senses.
