Difficulties pertaining to depression, grief, divorce, and death are presented and worked through by the participants.

This book provides a model on how to overcome some of the difficulties that confront all of us . Further, this read sheds a beacon of light on preventive measures for good physical and mental health. Research demonstrates that exercise is an important component in treating such ailments and debilitating illness such as depression, stroke, heart disease, brain or cognitive malfunction,and Alzheimer's disease.

I suggest that proper exercise can be used as a preventive measure for psychological, cognitive, and physical health as well. Follow my prescription and lead a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life.

Why is This Book Important

Why this book is important and relevant to a large audience. Our culture depicts middle-age years as being overweight, requiring medical assistance, taking medication, being spectators and engaging in electronic lifestyle. It is important to defy and challenge this non-flattering perception. There is different way to both view and live during retirement and the aging process. A positive correlation exists between passion, fitness, sports activities, and being healthier and more fulfilled.
Because life expectancy is declining in our society as a result of obesity high blood pressure, and stroke related health issues, it is important to adjust both attitude and behavior for the betterment. I prescribe: 1. Get inspired, realizing it's okay to begin a new activity by taking baby step's. Physical activity can assist in improving physical fitness, losing weight, reduce anxiety and minimizing depression . 2. Find meaning in activity outside of family, career or raising kids to build self-esteem. 3. Enrich your life by making friends, sharing interests, learning about others by becoming part of the new group.4. Realize that there's more to life than the accumulation of material things and that having the biggest does not result in happiness.5. Participate in an outdoor activity to facilitate spirituality. 6. Relax, enjoy, and read about individual' s adventures for ways to escape.7. Be inspired and motivated by reading the illuminating profiles of remarkable senior athletes.
