In recent years, the focus has shifted from growing old beautifully to growing old youthfully, with the emphasis on retaining functionality in one's senior years. In 1900, the average life expectancy was 47 years. Today, in developed countries, it has risen to an average of 76 years and is predicted to be 85 years by the year 2050. We are living longer and there is a global trend towards selfcare, wellness and improved physical appearance as well as the use of natural therapies in preference to pharmaceutical drugs, many of which have harmful side effects. Anti-ageing cosmetics and supplements are promoted in most popular magazines. Rejuvenation and anti-ageing programmes feature at most international health resorts. This book incorporates scientific medical information and a comprehensive mind-body-spirit approach, arming the reader with the tools and insight to age youthfully. Many helpful diagrams, illustrations and tables provide a comprehensive source of fascinating facts and essential information.
Dr. Geraldine Mitton, a pioneer in integrated medicine, is a medical doctor who has carried out studies in nutritional medicine, stress management, spa therapies, anti-ageing medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. As medical director of a health resort she was responsible for implementing and evaluating natural therapies for thousands of guests, with emphasis on nutrition, diet, stress management, executive health, fitness and relaxation. More recently, her focus has turned to anti-ageing and rejuvenation, a subject on which she has lectured and written extensively. Dr Mitton is Vice President of the World Federation of Thalassotherapy and a member of the European Society of Quality of Life and Longevity. She regularly contributes to a number of publications.
