The title of the book implies that reaching the age of 70 is a bad thing, but the aim is to help readers not only reach 70 in the best of health, but live beyond it. Each of the book’s 70 chapters deals with a diferent topic, well referenced and with a wide bibliography.
All three authors are Christians with a medical background. The book reflects much of the received wisdom concerning health, but it’s good to always weigh this up for yourself, bearing in mind that medical opinion changes as more discoveries are made. Animal fats were once regarded as deadly, for instance, but it’s been shown that the real killers are trans-fats which include margarine, once touted as a healthy alternative.
