 New Book Reveals Seven Proven Actions to Slow Aging and Chronic Illnesses

Leading physician and healthcare expert shares how aging can be slowed

BALTIMORE, Md., April 26, 2018—A new book by a nationally recognized physician leader and healthcare policy expert reveals seven ways you can slow the aging process and prevent many chronic illnesses. In Longevity Decoded – the Seven Keys to Healthy Aging, Stephen C. Schimpff, MD, former Chief Executive Officer of the University of Maryland Medical Center, reveals how much our daily choices influence the aging process.

To the surprise of many, our bodies slowly decline starting in our 30s and 40s, with each organ and tissue losing about 1% per year. Most of us don’t notice the decline until it’s too late – after we fall and break a bone, or forget where the car is parked,” says Dr. Schimpff.  “But we have the power to change that if we modify our lifestyle. The critical question is, ‘Will each of us accept and follow the advice on eating, moving, managing stress, sleeping, not smoking, and being intellectually challenged and socially engaged?’” 

Unfortunately, the American healthcare delivery system focuses on disease, not wellness. The good news is however old you are, paying attention to these seven actions will slow the aging process, reduce chronic diseases, and result in a longer life with better health.

E. Albert Reece, MD, Dean of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, says of the book, “As the world's older population continues to expand at an unprecedented rate, Dr. Schimpff gives readers simple steps that can lay the crucial groundwork for our future health. He provides a refreshing perspective that our 'golden years' can also be our 'golden age,' based on his first-hand experience as a physician.”
In his fifth decade as a physician, educator, cancer and infectious disease researcher, academic medical center executive and author, Dr. Schimpff is one of the world's foremost experts on healthcare. A professor of medicine and former professor of public policy at the University of Maryland, he is also a senior advisor to  Sage Growth Partners and Sanovas, Inc. and is internationally recognized for his cancer and infectious disease research at the National Cancer Institute's Baltimore Cancer Research Center and the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center. Board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and medical oncology, and recently inducted as a Master in the American College of Physicians, he has published more than 200 scientific articles, reviews, and editorials, and has edited major textbooks on cancer, infectious diseases, and healthcare. This is his sixth book for a general audience.
Dr. Schimpff is a graduate of Rutgers University where he was a Henry Rutgers Scholar. He obtained his medical degree from Yale Medical School, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha national honor medical society.

Praise for Dr Schimpff

The craft of science writing requires skills that are arguably the most underestimated and misunderstood in the media world. Dumbing down all too often gets mistaken for clarity. Showmanship frequently masks a poor presentation of scientific issues. Factoids are paraded in lieu of ideas. Answers are marketed at the expense of searching questions. By contrast, Steve Schimpff provides a fine combination of enlightenment and reading satisfaction. As a medical scientist he brings his readers encyclopedic knowledge of his subject. As a teacher and as a medical ambassador to other disciplines he's learned how to explain medical breakthroughs without unnecessary jargon. As an advisor to policymakers he's acquired the knack of cutting directly to the practical effects, showing how advances in medical science affect the big lifestyle and economic questions that concern us all. But Schimpff's greatest strength as a writer is that he's a physician through and through, caring above all for the person. His engaging conversational style, insights and fascinating treasury of cutting-edge information leave both lay readers and medical professionals turning his pages. In his hands the impact of new medical technologies and discoveries becomes an engrossing story about what lies ahead for us in the 21st century: as healthy people, as patients of all ages, as children, as parents, as taxpayers, as both consumers and providers of health services. There can be few greater stories than the adventure of what awaits our minds, bodies, budgets, lifespans and societies as new technologies change our world. Schimpff tells it with passion, vision, sweep, intelligence and an urgency that none of us can ignore.
