Publishers Weekly
The genial Dr. Rosenfeld (Symptoms and Doctor, What Should I Eat?) should have another bestseller to his credit with this wise, sensible guide to delaying and preventing the diseases of aging.....What distinguishes this book from others aimed at the turning-50 crowd is Rosenfeld's ease in making medicine understandable, without oversimplifying or condescending, and his lively optimism. The occasional pun may inspire groans, but given the book's strengths, they are forgivable. Thanks to the doctor's gift for establishing a relationship with his reader, this book deserves to be read widely and thoroughly.

An excellent, comprehensive, very readable book for all who are interested in promoting their health and preventing disease ... I recommend this book with enthusiasm.
Hugh Downs, correspondent, ABC's 20/20
Most welcome--the premise of Live Now, Age Later, that risks can be modified and that despair is in no case necessary or unavoidable, should get to every person concerned about getting older ... Many people are in need of Dr. Rosenfeld's counsel.

A comprehensive, medically factual work that is highly readable, sprinkled with humor, and of great value to our aging population.
