Henriette Kellum

I am in the process of reading George Villant’s book “Aging Well”.  This is a facinating “bringing together” of findings from three separate longitudinal studies on the process of aging.  No surprise that not smoking, or drinking alcohol in excess, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising some, getting educated and using a positive coping style are markers for a successful old age.  And in addition, having a stable marriage helps too.  Or, perhaps being healthy and positive contributes to having a stable marriage?  That one could go either way.  I recommend this book.  Henriette Kellum
