In today's hectic and uncertain world, being healthy has become more important than ever. However, getting there, or even staying there has become more challenging. Are you getting to the point where you are having difficulty going up a flight of stairs, or walking around your neighborhood? Do you catch yourself longing for your younger days when you could ski down the mountain all day long, ride your bike with your kids, or play in your weekly pick-up basketball game? I am Dr. Mathew Barry. I have spent over 2 decades searching for ways to improve the health, performance, and the well-being of my patients, clients, and myself. I have worked with all types of people, ranging from the elderly who are trying to improve their balance to avoid falls, to Olympic and professional athletes who are reaching for success at the highest level. This book will provide simple and actionable tips that you can incorporate into your life TODAY that can lead not only to an increased lifespan, but also to a more functional and active healthspan. You may no longer be in your twenties, but I promise you our bodies can still perform and even feel like they did at that age by learning and incorporating certain habits into your life. Most importantly, by becoming and/or staying active, you can help delay or even reverse age related mental and physical decline, keeping yourself at optimal function and health throughout your life. I have purposefully kept this book shorter than most, allowing me to focus on the things that I feel are most important and achievable. I have provided peer-reviewed data, along with personal and anecdotal stories to help illustrate my points in an easy to follow and non-condescending fashion. Whether it's starting a new activity that you've always wanted to try, or you just want to keep up with your grandkids, my book will provide you with an easy to follow game-plan on things to incorporate, and things to avoid. All of this will lead to a happier, healthier life
