To get started, click on the first report "How to Age-Proof Your Body Naturally." It describes how living and eating the Live To Be 90 Lifestyle Way can help us live to a ripe old age free of most of the diseases and dysfunctions that plague older Americans. Then go on to read other reports that cover almost every weapon in the anti-aging arsenal.
Following each report is a selection of links to other websites covering important aspects of aging healthfully . . .without senility or other dysfunctions that could reduce our quality of life or rob us of our independence. As an Arch-Skeptic, Health Reporter Norm' Ford rejects outright any website published for profit or gain or that reeks of the hype, scams and unproven claims so common on the Internet today.
Here is a detailed Table of Contents for each of the reports listed in the Menu above. The title of each Report appears in red block letters. Browse through them for a better idea of the topics and subjects each report covers.

CAUTION: Though these reports are based on documented studies in professional journals or on advisories from leading university medical schools and research institutes, they are intended for information only and should not be regarded as medical advice or instruction. For diagnosis and treatment of specific symptoms and diseases, disorders or dysfunctions, consult your physician. If you smoke or are over 35 or have symptoms of--or are at risk for--any chronic or degenerative disease, you should check with your doctor before beginning to exercise or making any changes in lifestyle or diet. However, fitness organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine invariably believe that the risk of NOT exercising far exceeds any risk in beginning a gradually increasing program of daily exercise. Thus if you experience any pain or problem while exercising, or making any other lifestyle change, stop and see your doctor at once.
