Publisher's Synopsis
The search for anti-aging strategies and solutions is as old as human civilization itself. Throughout history, we humans have chased the proverbial Fountain of Youth. We've gone to extreme lengths to uncover the secrets to looking young, bright, and beautiful forever. While science isn't likely to lead us to immortality any time soon, the progression of research and technology has brought us a long way towards a better understanding of how to live healthy, happy, long lives.
The book is about Chinese art. Its main purpose is to extend quality of life into old age (EQOL), i.e., good health and fitness into your later years. Everything you did for fun, enjoyment, and sports in your forties, you should be able to do in your seventies and beyond. This ancient art is all natural...no drugs, pills, lotions, potions, hormones, etc., none of which will make you look younger or live longer in good health (just make some people rich). Best of all, there is no restrictive diet, no strenuous exercise, no time-consuming requirements, and as you progress, you will feel better, look better and be able to take advantage of the last twenty years of your life, instead of debilitation, illness, pain and requiring a caregiver. It will require many lifestyle changes, but nothing that causes stress, great inconvenience, or unacceptable restrictions to your life.
