The Emergence of Super-Old: Means to Become One, co-authored by Dr. Jean Drouin and Raymond G. Paquet, examines the question of how people may maintain physical and mental health as they grow older. The book presents the authors’ Global Health Concept as a framework for reflection and decision-making about the future of health.
Central to the book is the authors’ use of the term “Super-Old” to describe a generation of elderly individuals who remain active and fit. Their Global Health Concept considers six areas of prevention: nutrition, stress management, movement, environment, genetics, and spirituality.
The book addresses these areas through a mix of practical material and discussion. It includes chapters on epigenetics and nutrition, including what the authors call the “seven commandments of nutrition,” along with stress-management techniques such as heart coherence and the Wim Hof method. Other sections contain “Health Datasheets” addressing common ailments, healthy recipes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, a first aid kit guide, and information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillators.
The book also presents the authors’ approach to integrated medicine, bringing together allopathy, homeopathy, and other traditional health practices. The authors apply their Global Health Concept to questions surrounding disease prevention, immune system maintenance, and physical and mental health in an aging population.
