A Boomer's Health Guide

About the Book

Here's a very important truth to consider: a person's health is a daily, renewable resource, not something to use up until it's gone!

Here's another: Some 77 million strong, Babyboomers are the group most at risk for losing their health.

There's no one-size-fits-all solution because each person is a special entity with background, personality, genetics and problems unique to him/her.

A BOOMER'S HEALTH GUIDE: It's Now or Never! is for all those who know it's time to change their lifestyles and save their health but they don't know what's best for them or where to begin. It offers advice on Boomers' most challenging issues, including weight loss without "dieting", reducing stress, Yoga, meditation, love and sex after 50, menopause, parenting one's parents, and much more.

Each chapter ends with referrals to further reading and websites to help the reader explore and choose his/her own special path to vibrant health.
