Optimal Aging — Living to 100

At least 75 % of health care costs in the U . S . are spent on treating diseases such as heart disease , diabetes , breast cancer , prostate cancer and obesity . Many of these diseases are largely preventable and even reversible by simple choices that we make in our lifestyle — what we eat , how we respond to stress , whether or not we smoke cigarettes , how much exercise we get , the quality of our relationships and social support . At times , these lifestyle choices can be seen as powerful as drugs and surgery !

When it comes to aging gracefully — we want it all ! We want to feel good , look good and most of all live a long healthy life . This course will look at some of today ’ s major health concerns as well as the 4 “ S ’ s ” of optimal aging , “ sex , sleep , stress and social networks ” and their impact on aging . This is a high energy , entertaining course based on the most current scientific information for living a long healthy life . Recommendations will be offered to improve not only your patient ’ s health , but your own and your loved ones too !

Upon completion of this course , the participant should :

• Learn the risk factors and preventive strategies for heart disease , cancer , etc .

• Understand the impact of obesity on health and learn tips for good weight loss , exercise and good nutrition ( even chocolate can be healthy !).

• Learn the role that sex , stress , sleep , social networks , optimism and laughter play in living a long healthy life .

• Discover the commonalities associated with successful aging .
