Women today are discovering, and inventing, a new way of being middle aged. There will be no blue rinse and sensible shoes for us. We want to stay healthy, feel and look younger than our biological age - naturally - and find the perfect work/life balance along the way.
A worrying part of this trend is the fact that more of us than ever before are opting for plastic surgery. The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons recorded 22,041 procedures carried out by its members last year - up 34.6% from 2004 - with anti-ageing procedures, such as facelifts, eyelid surgery and brow lifts showing a considerable rise in popularity.
For those of us who shudder at the thought of going under the knife there is a much more appealing and longer lasting alternative. According to Suzi Grant, the secret of healthy ageing isn't surgery, but the food we put into our bodies, some fantastic non-surgical procedures, the lifestyle we lead, and the attitude we have to life.
Suzi Grant walks her talk. Now in her fifties, Suzi is the ultimate baby boomer; she lives life to the full and cares passionately about her health. As one of the UK's leading nutritionists, Suzi has researched the latest breakthroughs on natural anti-ageing techniques and in Alternative Ageing she translates the science into a practical and easy plan. Taking you through 12 simple steps, you will find the answers to all the questions women our age ask.
Informative, empowering, and written with a sense of fun, Alternative Ageing is the perfect inspiration for anyone who, like Suzi Grant, wants to grow old healthily, youthfully and disgracefully!
