Anatomy of an Illness
by: Norman Cousins
Dr Rene Dubos:
from the Introduction to the book
Dr. Alexander Leaf, of Harvard Medical School, has recently made extensive clinical and social observations on very old people in several parts of the world. His studies have led him to suggest the longevity is correlated with a rather frugal diet but of well-balanced composition, vigorous and continued physical activity, and involvement in community affairs to the end of one's life. Complete retirement from active life life does not seem to be a good way to reach a very old age.
