Grow Healthier as You Grow Older is a personal look at the history of the fitness revolution, a guide for preventive health and fitness to improve the quality and quantity of your life, and an inspirational account of Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s lifelong dedication to the mission of serving others. These days, workouts come in a wide variety, from hot yoga to HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes, pickleball to hip-hop dance. Exercise can be used in three ways: for rest and relaxation, for muscle-building and figure-contouring, and for cardiorespiratory fitness. All three have merit but only one can protect you from disease and prolong your life, and that is exercise for cardiorespiratory fitness—or, as most people call it: cardio. Walking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, tennis, dancing—anything that gets your heart rate up and causes you to increase your oxygen intake over a certain period of time. Our survival depends on our ability to take in oxygen and deliver it efficiently to every area of the body. Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s work as a pioneering researcher and preventive medicine physician has proven the benefits of aerobic exercise and how physiological changes in the body positively impact your overall health—plus make you feel good. Learning to follow his 8 Steps to Get Cooperized™ may be the way to make you healthy again, as it could the entire world, and help extend your life by as much as 10 years. Even minimal improvements—such as going from being totally inactive to exercising just 30 minutes a day, most days per week—are enough to drastically alter the course of a person’s life. Reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and certain types of cancer by moving more. Today, at age 94, after practicing and teaching the value of preventive medicine, Dr. Cooper continues to think about new ways of doing things, new ways of presenting and studying data, new ways of looking at prevention. Take a deep dive inside the mind of an icon. He’s done the research for you. Now it’s your choice to become healthier sooner than later.
