Professor Jeong Hee-won of the Department of Geriatrics at Seoul Asan Medical Center speaks
22 Lifestyle Habits for Slower Aging and Healthy Old Age. Everyone wants to age healthily and energetically. However, many people end up applying one-size-fits-all health methods that don't suit their bodies, leading to poor health or even worsening illness.
In previous books, the author has discussed various aspects of aging and the broader framework of health, but has not addressed specific lifestyle habits. He believed there was already ample good information available. However, he wrote this book out of frustration after encountering many people, both inside and outside the clinic, who were harming their health through poor health management, experiencing more severe aging than their peers, and suffering from various chronic diseases due to accelerated aging.
This book offers practical advice and strategies for effectively managing the inherent capabilities described in the previous two books to delay aging and age healthily. The methods for curing accelerated aging are inexpensive and easily achievable by anyone through lifestyle modifications. Under the three themes of eating efficiently, moving properly, and maintaining brain health, the book introduces 22 health strategies that can be immediately applied to everyday life. Furthermore, the book is packed with practical information, drawing on extensive experience and case studies from a geriatrician's practice, as well as answers to common questions about aging.
The answer to slow aging already lies hidden within our lives. This book will serve as a guide for those in their 30s and 4050s, preparing for the next XNUMX years, to lead active and self-directed lives.
