This book has three parts, which totally contains twelve chapters. And the first part describes living in the age of longevity, and it includes four chapters. The first chapter talk about all creatures will grow old.

In her view, the real beauty is eternal, so it has nothing to do with age. In the second chapter, Cameron Diaz suggests that people should look at the middle-aged crisis as a middle-aged celebration. Compared with the past people, now people live longer, because now people have recognized the bacteria and viruses and other microorganisms. In addition, she also proposed as an aging person, people need to cherish the time, as much as possible to learn and take care of themselves. Cameron Diaz in the third chapter describes how to study aging today, and she said that aging research is still in its infancy.

The third part introduces the art and science of life longer, which also contains four chapters. In the ninth chapter, Cameron stressed that women need to through diet, fitness and rest to create a more robust body. In the words of Carmona (2016), “The trifecta of strength—nutrition, movement, sleep—is the most important tool we have to protect ourselves as we age.” She also wants you to go to the gym. Despite the prevalence of dietary supplements, good old-fashioned exercise is the best way to counteract osteoporosis and other age-related health problems. Diaz is a fitness enthusiast, and she shares a convincing study with her. Researchers at Stanford University have studied the relationship between exercise and health among athletes over 50 years of age and found that athletes with lower levels of inflammation, The response to the vaccine better, compared with its less active peers, psychological function improved. In the tenth chapter, she advises women to manage the stress and learn to relax, which can enhance the immune system. People 's emotional health is as important as physical health. The long-term stress can cause harm to the body and increase mortality. More and more adults are experiencing loneliness and isolation, so it is never so important to extend support to friends and strengthen social relations. In Chapter 11, Carmona refers that the brain is the strongest computer. The brain is the body 's most sophisticated organ for thinking activities. People often

Daniel Callahan’s position on age-based rationing is more sound in comparison to James Childress’s position. Within the article Ensuring Care, Respect, and Fairness for the Elderly by James Childress, he stresses the importance of reverence and equality to the elderly when it comes down to dealing with healthcare. This led to the illustrated conclusion that allocating healthcare in relation to age is unjust and not respectful (Childress, p.27-28). Childress gave the example of using a study about how twenty-five physicians were given details about forty patients and had to select thirty of them to treat.

One major theme in Sandra Cisneros's short story “Eleven” is the coming of age. Cisneros opens the short story with our narrator's observations on aging. Rachel has already noticed that birthdays are symbolic, but do not literally represent emotional evolution. Rachel has noticed that her mother cries and gently reminds readers that it's okay for adults to cry. She reminds the readers that no matter the age all human beings can feel vulnerability and pain.
In Aging Backwards, author Miranda Esmonde-White describes how aging is more of a lifestyle choice than a length of time growing old. Esmonde-White’s main goal in writing this book is to expand knowledge to individuals that the reason why we age is because of neglecting certain areas on our bodies. Every muscle in our body is the key to living a long life. According to Esmonde-White (2014), “An organelle called mitochondria, is the powerhouses of cells.
A person cannot lose his or her ability to age. It comes annually, without permission, and only small reminder of days ticking by on a calendar. It never really occurred to me before reading this book, but it seems that there are some things in life that just can’t be lost or taken away. For Belly Conklin, her summers are one of those things. Something she can count down to, wait for and finally have without fault every year.
Aging is a journey one which leads to really find and become comfortable with our true selves. As I age and as I watch my grandmother age, I have realized that time has a way of changing people. What think was impossible to conquer becomes possible over time. The material possessions that we once value just become small things. What matters the most is family and our faith.
` In the article Beautiful Brains by David Dobbs, evolutionary research conveys that during the adolescent and teenage years the brain encounters an astonishing amount of growth and transformation. Dobbs states that these developments contribute to many of the irresponsible decisions made by teens. In the past, the brain was thought to cease maturing around the age of ten, however, new investigations have found that between the ages of twelve and twenty five, the brain continues to develop, undergoing a considerable metamorphosis. During this metamorphosis, myelin insulates a greater number of neuron’s axons, increasing the speed in which messages are exchanged, dendrites branch out and become broader, accelerating the rate at which messages are received, and synaptic pruning occurs which causes the brain’s cortex to become slimmer and more adept. During teenage years, the brain is still learning to network as well as deal with day to day obstacles such as stress, exhaustion and problems.
Sandra Cisneros the author of Eleven she uses a lot of similes, and senses to make the reader feel like they are there in the classroom with Rachel. When Rachel is explaining “when you you are growing old it’s like an onion, or like the rings in a tree, or like the little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, one year after another”. Sandra makes more similes throughout the story but this simile is the best on because, it’s probably the more accurate one as you get older so does your body, you get taller until you stop growing, then when you get about your late 30s early 40s you start to get gray hair plus the wrinkles start to come out. She wasn’t exactly saying that, but what she was trying to say is, even when you are getting older you don’t feel that way, you still have a little five year old who wants to come out and play.
Introduction Alzheimer’s is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events or short memory loss. As the disease advances, symptoms can include difficulty with language, disorientation, mood swing and behavior problems.

In the beginning, Cisneros states “when you’re eleven, you’re also ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one.” This makes it sounds like she did not change at all through aging by one year and you didn”t change you are today from who you were yesterday. You are still the same person, but you need to act you matured and are older. As she gives examples like you would act younger than what you are in most causes Next,

Late Adulthood is the stage of the human life cycle where an individual nears the end of their life. The life expectancy in the United States has slowly increased over the years therefore allowed many to further analyze the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development during late adulthood. The stage of late adulthood has been emphasized by ageism and the stereotypical "old" person but, will be further educated by the normative development of the life cycle of late adulthood. For the “old” experience dramatic changes in their development as they face loss, death, and illness.
