Age Gracefully and Live Well in Your Senior Years
"Age Well!" is a Cleveland Clinic medical guide from Cleveland Clinic Press that can help you map a plan for the physical and psychological challenges of healthy aging. U.S. News & World Report ranks Cleveland Clinic one of the nation's top four hospitals.Written by Dr. Robert Palmer, nationally respected head of geriatric medicine at the Clinic, this health book teaches that looking good is just a part of the equation. To feel good, you need the ability to function and to remain independent, mobile, and cognitively sound.

Age Well! (Cleveland Clinic Guides)
At 55 or 95, the physical stage of your body is a product of your lifestyle habits. Dr. Palmer's health book isn't about mechanical devices you can install to feel younger, or about body shaping to look younger. This medical guide shows that aging, per se, is not the cause of many age-related conditions.
