Long Life Strategy

Everyone needs a Strategy for Long Life, and Dr. Caplan offers it. Breakthroughs in knowledge about the cells that make up our bodies are bringing about new ways to keep healthy, to control and even stop disease before irreversible harm is caused. It is possible to be fit and healthy much longer into life, and, in fact, to actually live longer, healthier. The ability to prolong healthy lifespan can radically change your life in myriad ways. What you can expect from your health care providers is rapidly evolving and represents a revolution in medicine. It is finally possible to prolong healthful, useful, enjoyable life beyond seventy years. In order to achieve this, each of us needs a survival strategy. Some components of this strategy can be achieved by the individual, while others involve understanding and being active in issues that impact the whole nation and society. Each of us can logically expect to survive healthfully to an advanced age only within a stable, advanced, educated society in which random and directed violence is guarded against and largely eliminated. General measures of public health, including the presence of a safe and assured water and food supply, and protection from disease agents by vaccination and other means, must be in place. The environment should be free of debilitating levels of noxious agents. This book covers steps you can take to extend your life through making healthy choices. Dr. Caplan describes in great medical detail how different diseases--and their treatments--work in the body. He also describes how diet, exercise, and relationships all affect your longevity, and steps you can take to remain healthy and active for many, many years.

The second edition of Long Life Strategy builds upon the practical tips and knowledge in the first edition by providing readers with an outline to living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life and late life. The book elaborates on three major areas, which include what you can do to live a long life, what your doctor should be doing to help you achieve this goal, and what society, of which we are all part, should be doing to better accommodate a growing number of older people in the coming decades. Dr. Caplan begins by introducing what it means to live a longer life and explaining the current research on delaying, preventing, and reversing aging in our cells. The next chapters detail how to prevent diseases and conditions commonly associated with aging, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, mental health decline, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease. The author provides instruction for good diet and exercise choices. The concluding chapters provide useful advice for managing a fixed income, becoming a grandparent, dealing with the sickness and loss of a life partner, and how to maintain social relationships into late life. No matter where you are on life’s journey, Long Life Strategy can provide a roadmap to living a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Diversification provides a well-known way of getting something close to a free lunch: by spreading money across different kinds of investments, investors can earn the same return with lower risk (or a much higher return for the same amount of risk). This strategy, introduced nearly fifty years ago, led to such strategies as index funds. What if we were all missing out on another free lunch that’s right under our noses? InLifecycle Investing, Barry Nalebuff and Ian Ayres-two of the most innovative thinkers in business, law, and economics-have developed tools that will allow nearly any investor to diversify their portfolios over time.
