"A fresh approach to aging well . . . the definitive 'how-to' book for celebrating the second half of life!" from a top yoga and mindfulness teacher (Darren Main, author of Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic).

Filled with science, suggestions for gentle daily movement, natural remedies and modern wisdom, Super Ager is a practical and concise guide to optimal aging. Yoga instructor, nutrition expert and healthy living blogger Elise Marie Collins has compiled a comprehensive look at what "Super Agers" are doing to live long and prosper. Learn about movement at any age, brain fitness and memory maintenance, foods, vitamin and mineral content cues and clues, and what they do to promote health, prevent disease, and decrease and reverse symptoms of illness.

In her revolutionary book, Collins presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our lifespan but also our health span. Through a journey of cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world's healthiest, oldest people, Collins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness. From India to Japan, northern Europe and the Greek Island of Ikaria "where people forgot to die," she shows how the unique lifestyles of these people can influence and improve our own lives.

"A great inspiration to encourage humanity to not only live longer but better . . . Elise Marie Collins, gives us sound information that motivates us to eat a mostly plant-based diet and to move our bodies, even if it's just walking, in a way that communicates—I AM ALIVE!" —Saeeda Hafiz, author of The Healing
