Overview

You know you're old when your adult children talk to each other in front of you and spell out certain words.

Reaching the milestone of 80, Lee Janogly was continually irritated at the notion that older people are slower, frailer and generally out of touch with modern living. Even if we do sometimes put the remote control in the fridge, we know how to work it.

An experienced diet and exercise counsellor, Lee knows that older people really do want to know how to be healthy and well for as long as possible - without being lectured or patronised.

After all, as the 81-year old Vogue magazine cover star, actress Jane Fonda says, 'Older women are the fastest growing demographic in the world. It's time to recognise our value'.

Lee's new book charts amusingly what happens to bodily and mental functions as we age. She looks at diet and fitness options - and her friends have their say too. She's tracked down expert advice for us all on the best way to improve your memory and general health and appearance.

By the end of this book you will be standing straighter, eating more healthily and people will be telling you how great you look (they better not add 'for your age!').

At times outrageously funny, and sometimes exquisitely sad, this new book entertains and informs in equal measure. Join us - you will feel right at home. As Lee says, we just need love and laughter.

About the Author

Lee Janogly has been a diet counsellor and fitness instructor for over 40 years. Her two best-selling books, 'Stop Bingeing!' and 'Only Fat People Skip Breakfast' have helped thousands of people eschew fad diets and, in Lee's words, 'live like a slim person' generating five-star reviews.
In her latest book, 'Getting Old: Deal with It' Lee sets her sights on helping older people live their remaining years in the best possible health. As she says 'A hospital is no place for sick people - too many germs!' Now in her 80s Lee feels she is fully qualified for this endeavour. Her tenets are love and laughter.
