Publisher's Synopsis
Did you know that gum disease has been linked to serious systemic aging diseases like diabetes, heart disease and stroke, cancer, and even Alzheimer's Disease?
When author and periodontist Cheryl Townsend Winter, DDS, MSD, MBA, heard this research and she realized the potential impact of gum disease on aging, she took note. And she decided she would enter her sixties actively pursuing a long and healthy life, maybe even to the full life potential of the human body of 120 years.
Adding aging-specific research to her years of experience in the health sciences field, Winter hunted down the enemies of aging and the practical ways to combat them. "The Aging Gracefully Pathway" is her easy-to-read guide that explains the aging process basics-covering the outer body, the brain, and the internal functions-and offers concrete steps toward better aging.
Learn how healthy eating, exercise, and sleep can help you experience the good life well past sixty. It's never too late to start a good habit. And sometimes it's as easy as adding a little more spice to your diet-like cinnamon, which is antibacterial, antifungal, and reduces blood sugar levels, among other things.
Offering practical everyday advice that makes biologic sense, "The Aging Gracefully Pathway" shares expert tips with readers on how to tap into their personal power to change the face of aging.
