description: Merlin the wizard once said, "I don't age, I youthen, " by way of explaining how he moved backward in time while everyone else around him matured and grew old. Fortunately, we don't have to be wizards to stay young. We just need to take some of Dr. Alan Bonsteel's sound medical advice for feeling younger and living longer.Of course, for decades the medical community has advocated lifestyle changes as a way to avoid serious health problems. If we eat right and exercise regularly we'll live longer because we've reduced the risks for heart attacks, strokes, and many cancers. But it is a sad fact that fully 75% of all deaths in this country are still caused by preventable types of vascular disease and cancer. Unfortunately, most people are successful at changing the way they eat and exercise only after they've suffered a heart attack or been diagnosed with some form of cancer.Dr. Bonsteel synthesizes research from a wide variety of disciplines that integrates the mind and the body. He reinforces the benefits of behavior that reduces health risks by showing us how the pleasures of youth -- boundless energy, less stress, sexual fulfillment, athletic skill, and camaraderie with our peers -- are available to each of us NOW. His prescription for healthy longevity is if we get off the couch, exercise with our friends, make love with out spouse, and reduce stress at work and at home through meditation, prayer, and community involvement -- our chronological age will have little to do with how old we feel inside. Self-assessment tests and goal-attainment strategies assist readers in transforming their behavior.A graduate of Dartmouth Medical School, Dr. Alan Bonsteel sees patients at his clinic in the Concord Family Practice in Clayton, California, and is Director of me Emergency Department at Southern Inyo District Hospital in Lone Pine, California. Alan lives with his wife, Chantal, in San Francisco, California.
