xv, 175 pages : 23 cm, As people reach their fifties, the body's metabolism slows. Without a change in eating or exercise habits, it's common to put on weight and become less able to perform routine physical activities. This book provides practical suggestions for eating and exercise that help readers look and feel better as the years go by. Beginning with a discussion of how evolution made it possible for humans to store energy efficiently--which translates into weight gain as we age--the authors spell out a strategy for eating and exercising wisely. Sample recipes translate the guidelines into healthy and delicious meals, while the chapters on exercise offer tips on choosing an exercise program that corresponds with each individual's personality and favorite activities. By taking these simple steps as early as possible, readers can stave off or even prevent many of the effects of aging.--From publisher description, Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-168) and index, \"A DiaMedica guide to optimum wellness\"--Cover, Survival of the fittest -- Eat and exercise more wisely -- Getting started -- Lead us not into temptation -- How and when to exercise : exercises for older adults -- Falling off the wagon so it doesn't hurt -- Maintaining your diet and exercise lifestyle when you travel -- Nutritional supplements, dietary considerations, and food/medication interactions -- Let's be specific : defining what's right for you -- A final review and summary -- Reveling in recipes : Chef Speckamp's \"calorically kind\" culinary delights
