Publishers Weekly

Multitalented UK journalists Fairley and Stacey present a compendium of conventional and holistic solutions for the many facets of aging, addressing both simple and complex treatments, and focusing on green means of addressing common issues. Exercises are illustrated for many target areas, such as feet and hands, but also encouraged for overall health; in fact, "exercise naturally induces many of the anti-ageing mechanisms that scientists try to bring about by much more complex means, from hormone supplements and calorie restriction to gene therapy." Readers will also find discussion of aromatherapy, massage and homemade hair treatments, as well as plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry and cosmetic products (rated by users). From prevention of dementia and osteoporosis to "sleep-easy strategies," this magazine-like guide-complete with sidebars and profiles of "Inspiring Women" (like aging supermodel Carmen Dell'Orefice and author Leslie Kenton)-provides readers with an accessible means of setting and reaching realistic personal health goals with a "five per cent rule" that discourages going overboard: "The trick... is to bite off what's chewable."
