interview--Dr. Rosanne Leipzig gives a detailed account of her excellent book ”Honest Aging””

Rosanne Leipzig, MD and PhD, shares her experience and research for those of us age 65 and older: what can we expect of our minds and bodies as we age? Is it all downhill from here? Or is joy still possible? (answers: we shrink as backbone compresses, eyes don't discern color as well, hearing loses high pitches. HOWEVER one of the best ways to keep our minds and bodies operating at their best is to get some exercise, and to get sufficient sleep!) Did you know that very few drug trials are held on 65+ people? That means we aren't sure exactly how those pharmaceuticals react in older bodies! Forgetting a few words from time to time? Don't worry. Forgetting something you just learned? Get it checked out.

This is an excellent resource for people who are blessed enough to live longer!
