EXPERT'S BOOK ADDS TO MOVEMENT ADVOCATING LIFESTYLE CHOICES -- NOT MEDICINE -- AS THE KEY TO GOOD HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

There is no 'magic' pill or fad diet for good health; personal
responsibility for wise choices can help you live to 100.

Like so many things in life, the best answer to a problem is often the
simplest. It is no different when it comes to health, wellness, and
longevity.

Dr. Sanja Gupta of CNN advocates over the airwaves healthy lifestyle
choices. Dr. Mehmet Oz is well known for simplifying the message of
preventive health choices and the effects bad health choices have on
our bodies. Dr. Rima Laibow, healthfreedomusa.org, advocates natural
foods and supplements as a means of preventing disease. These doctors
represent a growing number of physicians and researchers who have
taken a stand for better lifestyle choices for improved health and
longevity.

In her new book, Living Well at One Hundred, famed biochemist and
treatment specialist of non-healing and complex wounds Dr. Darlene
McCord joins this medical chorus and shares pertinent information that
allows for healthy lifestyle changes. The colorfully illustrated
tabletop book is an easy to read reference for anyone looking to
improve their stamina, and prevent and treat diseases such as diabetes
and hypertension as well as increase their life's longevity.

Living Well at One Hundred begins with an honest assessment of the
rise in health care spending over the past 40-years, and why bad
lifestyle choices - are one of the main culprits to this increase.
Dr. McCord is a strong advocate for prevention using diet, exercise
and supplements as a foundation to a healthy life.

She says of preventive medicine, "The march to better health is not
being led by insurance and pharmaceutical companies—it is being led by
a growing number of cutting-edge physicians, researchers, and a throng
of people just like you and me."

"Over the past century, the average life expectancy has more than
doubled. The extension of human longevity is one of our greatest
achievements. However, in order to maintain the tremendous gains we
have made, we must become partners in our own health and more actively
participate in the choices that will impact it," adds McCord. "The
concept of living well is about how to take charge of our everyday
life circumstances. Our own longevity is actually controlled each and
every day by the decisions we make. Simple choices - from the food we
eat to exercise - can result in previously unsurpassed physical and
emotional health."

Living Well at One Hundred is decidedly different from most 'health'
books in that it encourages and explains many small steps one can take
toward a healthy life. At their own pace, readers can plan their own
'journey' to wellness and health.

"The answer to health and wellness is at our fingertips every day,
from the food we eat to basic choices," notes McCord. "It really isn't
complex, radical diets or new medicines aren't needed."
