It is uniquely different from most books on health and ageing in that there are no claims for secret ingredients for healthy ageing: there are no super genes, no superfoods, no super diet, no super supplements, no super exercise, no superbugs and no super lifestyle. All these issues are addressed therein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essence of \u003cem\u003eHealthy Ageing\u003c\/em\u003e is to apply common knowledge and common sense to your lifestyle. There is no secret ingredient or secret lifestyle for healthy ageing, that is the secret. The take-home message for healthy ageing is to maintain physical activity, that is keep moving (and keep breathing).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe subject the claims for healthy ageing to the \u003cem\u003ePub Test\u003c\/em\u003e in which we ask a simple question and provide a simple \u003cem\u003eYes\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eNo\u003c\/em\u003e answer based on the best available scientific evidence. The \u003cem\u003ePub Test\u003c\/em\u003e works best after a few drinks. It has its origins in politics in that when a politician is asked a simple question requiring a simple yes or no, there is much talk but the question is never answered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essence of the \u003cem\u003ePub Test\u003c\/em\u003e is this: has the politician addressed the simple question, that is, has it passed the \u003cem\u003ePub Test\u003c\/em\u003e? \u003cem\u003eThe Pub Test\u003c\/em\u003e is a gauge of public opinion: is the answer believable and trustworthy as far as the general public is concerned?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe apply the \u003cem\u003ePub Test\u003c\/em\u003e to the most important questions relating to health and ageing. We leave you, the informed Reader, to pass your own judgment on the answers. Your health is much too important an issue to be left answered by political rhetoric or left to be answered by commercial-for profit enterprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 09, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53243906720051,"sku":"9780648949305","price":34.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RyQ-plRjYS9780648949305.webp?v=1776243352","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/healthy-ageing-the-science-and-the-myths-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
