Longevity along with wellness is a process of moving towards a higher equilibrium of physical, mental and emotional well-being to lead a long and fulfilled life, while preventing disease. This book explains the principles that govern each type of well-being: physical, nutritional and emotional-mental, and shares tips on how we can engage each principle to live longer. Finally, and critically, it explains the role stress plays in undermining the wellness equilibrium, and what we can do to heal from stress and prevent its accumulation from hampering our life’s journey.
While ageing and death are inevitable
consequences of being alive, there are behavioural practices that can slow down
the ageing process while keeping disease at bay. The book acknowledges that to
be fully present in our lives and enjoy it without suffering, we need to be
proactive and do the groundwork to prevent illnesses before they occur. It
shares evidence-based practices-Ayurveda, yoga and Western medicine-that
promote longevity, while keeping our bodies healthy and our minds alert.
