Sod Seventy! Reviews

A top doctor reveals the surprising little life changes that'll keep you fit for decades longer * Daily Mail *
Utterly readable and entertaining it is packed tight with very valuable information, written by one of the leading medical doctors in Britain. In his eighth decade himself, the author is well qualified to dole out advice on living well as we age * Irish Examiner *
Age UK wants everyone to 'love later life' and this highly readable book, which draws on the latest science, helps plot the course for how we can achieve it. Decline is not inevitable but the older we get, the greater the need for positive action if we're to stay fit and well. Sir Muir explains the how as well as the why of this and as such this book deserves to be essential reading * Age UK *
The message of this book is that prevention is as relevant at seventy years old as at twenty. We now know that we can postpone many problems that we have assumed to be due to ageing but which well-designed research now proves to be due to loss of fitness, preventable disease and loss of morale. Your health in older age can be improved and this book gives you the recipe for good health in your seventies, and better health in the decades to follow -- Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England
