My sister bought me this book with the following quote, “The good news is that life expectancy is increasing, the bad news is that the extra years are tacked on the end”. She figured I might need it and was right! I now give it to all my friends who turn 50 as it is filled with simple tips on health, fitness and life that everyone should know before we get old.
