Overview

Your health is real wealth. How do you want to spend your limited time you have left on the earth? Managing chronic disease or a terminal illness? Or improving your quality of life and living the most extended life healthy with the fewest years of disability? The aging process can include words like ""thriving"" instead of ""declining"" like it does now. Many people believe they are doomed to decline based on their inherited genes. However, the plethora of research shows that your genes constitute only up to 20% of the risk of inherited disease(s). How we decline is up to us. We control more than we think. Omlie and Anderson team up to share ways for you to take responsibility and control of your health. Being struck with a chronic disease (such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's) is not necessarily an inevitability that you need to accept as a natural part of aging. Much of what ails us as we age can be preventable through a healthy lifestyle. This is a beginner's manual for you to age well. It contains the information you need to create a customized health plan. What's important, and how to incorporate healthy changes into your life. For many of us, the best time to start living a healthy lifestyle is 20 to 30 years ago. The second best time is right now. It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines and take control of your life. It's time.
