SAN FRANCISCO - June 8, 2006 - New research suggests that a long life is no accident.
So what are the secrets of the world's centenarians? Although centenarians are still rare,
they now constitute the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. Their ranks have
increased 16-fold over the past six decades-from 3,700 in 1940 to roughly 61,000 today.
The Census Bureau projects that one in nine baby boomers (9 million of the 80 million
people born between 1946 and 1964) will survive into their late 90s, and that one in 26
(or 3 million) will reach the ripe age of 100.
Dr. Maoshing Ni, a 38th generation doctor of Chinese medicine, authority in the field of
Taoist anti-aging medicine and author of Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live
to be 100 has helped celebrities like Helen Hunt, Jim Carrey, Angelica Houston, and
Denzel Washington realize that the tools to live a longer, happier and healthier life
already exist, and they're within virtually everyone's reach.
Instead of providing hard-to-follow regimens and rules, Dr. Ni shares entertaining and
easy-to-implement ‘secrets’ to help readers feel young and vital well into their tenth
decade. Some of the ‘secrets’ shared in Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to
be 100 include:
A growing body of research suggests that chronic illness is not an inevitable consequence
of aging, as we've long believed, but more often the result of lifestyle choices that we're
perfectly free to reject. Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to be 100 shows
that living to 100 is simpler than most people imagine-this invaluable book is a ‘must
have’ tool in the arsenal against aging. Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to
be 100 will help people live longer, healthier lives so they can glide through their later
years with clear minds and strong bodies.
