Don’t Act Your Age – Living Younger Can Be Age-Defying By Leigh Elder | RRP $35 plus postage | Available for purchase from www.theundergroundbookstore.nz
How would you feel if you could turn back the clock and become younger by the day, biologically that is?
Well, this can be possible by making the right lifestyle changes, improving the overall health of your cells and slowing down the rate you are ageing at.
Leigh Elder says, “It’s almost like magic to see the overall improvements in people’s health with a few simple food and life changes.”
Leigh is a fit 82-year-old former physical education teacher, life coach, rest-home owner, columnist, author of two popular health books and the founder of the Eat For Keeps (EFK) programme which has helped hundreds of people with weight, diabetes and other lifestyle issues.
His team developed a three-month wellness challenge which was delivered in the mid-2010’s to groups of patients drawn from six Tauranga and Mount Maunganui medical practices.
Across the board, weight loss, improvements in some key medical markers, and sometimes reversal of type 2 diabetes conditions, were achieved.
His latest book, Don’t Act your Age – Living Younger Can Be Age-defying, builds on and enhances this former work. New concepts include denial of death, atomic habits and Ikigai, the art of not sitting still. It culminates in the potentially life-changing, Don’t Act Your Age, challenge.
It’s a good combination of being both doable and innovative and includes the stories and secrets of super-agers such as legendary middle-
distance runner, John Walker’s coach, 103-year-old, Arch Jelley.
Leigh believes that this is his best work and is keen to use his new book as a platform to motivate, inspire and show as many people as possible how to increase their years of healthy life.
