This is the first book to be specifically designed for people in their 60s, with a science-based blueprint for improving 'healthspan'. Sixties is still mid-life, and for many, happiness levels can pick up from 60 through to 80 - if you can maintain your active lifestyle, physical fitness and mobility and keep debilitating chronic disease at bay. Increasing life expectancy brings a change in priorities for this generation, including retaining a high quality of life.

In Peak 60, Dr Bubbs explores these concerns, addressing key questions such as:What's the best diet to fight off cognitive decline?How much exercise do I really need to do?Can medications or supplements support healthy ageing?Do I have to live in constant pain?What does muscle strength have to do with longevity?How can walking speed predict how I age?What role do naps play?What is the importance of mindset and connectivity?Dr Bubbs discusses the latest evidence with respect to nutrition, training, recovery and mindset so you can extend your healthiest years and make the golden years truly golden.
