Completely revised and updated, \u003ci\u003eLiving Well\u003c\/i\u003e presents a thorough but manageable program for keeping in good mental and physical shape as we grow older.

Part II addresses many other challenges that people in their middle and later years face-from planning for retirement, to keeping your mind active, to maintaining a healthy sex life, to writing a will. Finally, Part III provides easy-to-use decision charts- on everything from hip pain to incontinence to diet and exercise-that quickly help determine whether professional intervention is necessary or whether home treatment will suffice. Comprehensive and accessible, \u003ci\u003eLiving Well\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential reference for promoting a long, happy, and healthy life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James F.
