Samenvatting:

They say getting older is like being a classic car: a few more squeaks, a little extra maintenance, but still perfectly capable of turning heads - and occasionally stalling in the driveway. But what if aging wasn't something to endure, but something to enjoy?Still Upright is a witty, heartwarming guide to aging well, showing that growing better, not older, is possible - and surprisingly fun. Ethan K. Ben blends laugh-out-loud storytelling with fascinating science to reveal why gravity slowly shortens you (and clever ways to fight back), how your bones and muscles "talk" to warn you about hidden health issues, why time seems to speed up, and how wrinkles, hair, and skin tell stories about your life - plus tricks to keep them healthy and happy.More than a list of tips or anti-aging tricks, this book celebrates the gift of aging, teaches how to age with style and agility, and uncovers small daily choices that can tip the scale toward more good years.Funny, insightful, and filled with nod-worthy moments, Still Upright is the perfect birthday gift for grandpa, grandma, or any aging parent - a reminder that aging well isn't about turning back the clock. It's about making the clock work for you, with humor, curiosity, and a touch of style.
