Dr. Caplan presents a new way of thinking about life and health, arguing that the ability to alter the lifespan of the cell could radically affect health and longevity.
The second edition of Long Life Strategy builds upon the practical tips and knowledge in the first edition by providing readers with an outline to living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life and late life. The book elaborates on three major areas, which include what you can do to live a long life, what your doctor should be doing to help you achieve this goal, and what society, of which we are all part, should be doing to better accommodate a growing number of older people in the coming decades. Dr. Caplan begins by introducing what it means to live a longer life and explaining the current research on delaying, preventing, and reversing aging in our cells. The next chapters detail how to prevent diseases and conditions commonly associated with aging, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, mental health decline, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease. The author provides instruction for good diet and exercise choices. The concluding chapters provide useful advice for managing a fixed income, becoming a grandparent, dealing with the sickness and loss of a life partner, and how to maintain social relationships into late life. No matter where you are on life’s journey, Long Life Strategy can provide a roadmap to living a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Dr. Caplan presents a new way of thinking about life and health, arguing that the ability to alter the lifespan of the cell could radically affect health and longevity.
Everyone needs a Strategy for Long Life, and Dr. Caplan offers it. Breakthroughs in knowledge about the cells that make up our bodies are bringing about new ways to keep healthy, to control and even stop disease before irreversible harm is caused. It is possible to be fit and healthy much longer into life, and, in fact, to actually live longer, healthier. The ability to prolong healthy lifespan can radically change your life in myriad ways. What you can expect from your health care providers is rapidly evolving and represents a revolution in medicine. It is finally possible to prolong healthful, useful, enjoyable life beyond seventy years. In order to achieve this, each of us needs a survival strategy. Some components of this strategy can be achieved by the individual, while others involve understanding and being active in issues that impact the whole nation and society. Each of us can logically expect to survive healthfully to an advanced age only within a stable, advanced, educated society in which random and directed violence is guarded against and largely eliminated. General measures of public health, including the presence of a safe and assured water and food supply, and protection from disease agents by vaccination and other means, must be in place. The environment should be free of debilitating levels of noxious agents. This book covers steps you can take to extend your life through making healthy choices. Dr. Caplan describes in great medical detail how different diseases--and their treatments--work in the body. He also describes how diet, exercise, and relationships all affect your longevity, and steps you can take to remain healthy and active for many, many years.
