Fitness

Use It Or Lose It is the former great Olympic champion Peter Snell's challenge to us all as we contemplate health and fitness in old age. After researching this subject as a scientist for many years, Snell has written a book for the general reader which was bought in large numbers in its original edition published in 2006. In this new revised edition Snell and co-author Garth Gilmour have added an important new section on omega-3 fatty acids plus an index. There is also a new cover. There is a crisis all over the world, asserts Snell, in the mounting health problems associated with poor exercise and worse eating habits. For the first time, life expectancy is on the verge of shrinking. Now a world expert on the relationship between aging, physical fitness and health, Snell has strong views on what we can all do to keep fit, eat well and be happy. You'll enjoy life longer, claims Peter Snell, if you take on board the messages in this book.
