About this listen
*** As seen in the UK national newspaper The Guardian and the Saga website. ***
I can’t afford a personal trainer or pricey health foods, so how am I supposed to get healthy? It just feels impossible. It may feel impossible, but it’s not. Affordable changes can lead to powerful results. Wellbeing isn’t a luxury: it’s within your reach. I know you have many other demands on your time and money, so the book offers many small but effective strategies that won’t add to your stress or deplete your bank balance. You don’t need a personal trainer or exotic and expensive foods to be healthy. I will show you what you need to do. Can you be healthy whatever your age?
Yes, you can. I will explain the research projects that studied people in their fifties and older and showed that change can happen at any age. For example, researchers found that “People who newly adopt a healthy lifestyle in middle-age experience a prompt benefit of lower rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality. ” Do you know what you need to do but struggle to find the motivation?
So much advice involves building a huge new lifestyle with a strict plan about what you must do. I start from a different approach – putting you in charge of deciding what’s doable. Listeners like that they can dip in and out of the book and choose what feels right for them. When you see the benefits of these small changes, your motivation will catch up. The Science of Healthy Aging offers you simple, but effective tips you can use straight away.
Don't wait any longer to embark on your journey toward a healthier, happier life. Buy now before the price changes and start reaping the benefits of a lifestyle that will help you defy your age.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Getting old is not for the weak!
At 35, I'm not exactly ancient, but lately my body's been sending me some not-so-subtle hints that I'm not the spring chicken I used to be (who knew making weird noises while getting up from the couch wasn't normal?). I would liken this book to that one friend we all have who won't let you get away with the "I'm too old/broke/busy" excuses. And believe me, I tried them all. What makes this book different from the usual "eat kale and do yoga" advice is that it's refreshingly BS-free... we're talking about actual problems we're all facing... yup, even constipation. Jane includes the science but explains it like she's having a coffee with you, not lecturing at Harvard. Aside from that, you don't need to sell a kidney to afford her suggestions or twist yourself into a pretzel to follow them. My favorite chapter was "10 Things You Can Do Now" - though I'll admit I only did 7 of them because, let's be honest, I was listening to this book while eating ice cream. But hey, progress not perfection, right?
