One hundred years ago people died at the average age of 47 years. Today we are living longer lives, well into our 80s and beyond. You may ask, how do I navigate the aging process successfully? It is not easy. Today many people are too encumbered and trying to survive financially, struggling with family pressures and parents who need help. They neglect taking care of themselves and end up aging prematurely. Clinical Gerontologist Dr. Eric Shapira joins the show to help guide us through the aging process.
