What is Optimal Aging?

Op-ti-mum - the best or most favorable result obtainable under specific conditions.

Aging occurs with passage of chronologic time and happens universally as long as we draw breath.

Optimal aging puts the individual in the forefront and is a complex mix of lifestyle choices, health practices, outlook on life and genetic tendencies.  YOU are the key factor in determining whether your aging process is optimal even in the face of health or social issues that are less than ideal.


 Listen to SeniorClass HealthWISE on KFAQ (1170 AM) or KTOK (1000 AM) radio with Dr. Root and co-host Rusty McMurray.  It is entertainment, information and dialog about health issues for Boomers and beyond.
