The book helps you recognize age-related changes in your body and mind and understand what's typical with aging and what's not; offers guidance for common health concerns; shares advice on how to make decisions about health care, driving, and where to live; includes helpful checklists and lists of medications to prepare for doctor and hospital visits; recommends the best technology options, such as mobility devices, emergency device systems, and more; counters common myths about aging; and offers resources for additional information, self-help, and support.
Enriched by patient stories and deep dives into science and the latest research, Honest Aging gives you the tools to take control of your health and well-being as you age.
