About this book
The Old Man's Guide to Health and Longer Life sets out rules for diet, exercise and physic, for preserving a good constitution and preventing disorders in a bad one. A chapter on the regulation of temper and the passions affirms that the passions demand great regard in preserving the health of old men. The text says that in passionate people, what we blame as their fault is often their misfortune.
The text says diet and due exercise are the best guardians of health in all, and that in the advanced period it considers, Ease and Cheerfulness are two great preservatives besides. The author says that nature has herself left undeterminable the period at which the state we call aged begins, and that the weakness and infirmities of age come at different years, in different constitutions. A chapter on succedaneums for exercise says that the benefit of exercise all know, but all cannot enjoy it, nor can it be had at all times.
