Roadmap to 100: The Science of Longevity
Walter Bortz
Mondays, 1-3 p.m.
Jan 27-Mar 10 (No meeting 2/17)
We are the first generation in the history of the planet that knows what whole life looks like. Matters of fate have now become matters of choice. With a baby boomer turning 60 every 10 seconds, our society is rapidly aging. Frailty, heart disease, a decreased sex drive, and memory loss are just a few problems typically associated with aging. But cutting-edge research on the connection between age and disease shows us that senility and other diseases of the elderly are not inevitable, engagement with people and interests is key to mental health, and exercise can recover years of aging. Gain valuable takeaway advice on how you can live a longer life.
Walter Bortz M.D. is clinical professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and is recognized as one of the most distinguished scientific experts on aging and longevity. He has focused his research on the importance of physical exercise to robust aging and has published more than 130 medical articles and numerous books, including We Live Too Short and Die Too Long, Living Longer for Dummies, and Roadmap to 100.
