[HTML1] In today’s first two segments, Life, Love and Health: Special Edition executive producer Christopher Springmann considers the aging of earth’s population. By the year 2030, a generation away, one billion people on the planet will be over the age of 65, plus for the first time in history the number of those who are older than 50 will be greater than those under 17. Here to discuss this topic are Ted Fishman and David Baxter. Mr. Fishman has traveled around the world to find out what effects this aging trend will have on families, communities, nations and economies. He’s the author of Shock of Gray, subtitled The Aging of the World’s Population and How it Pits Young Against Old, Child Against Parent, Worker Against Boss, Company Against Rival and Nation Against Nation. David Baxter is Senior Vice President of Agewave, the nation’s leading research and consulting company focused on population aging and its profound business, social, financial workforce and cultural implications.
In our third segment, Christopher catches up with Dr. John LaPuma, also known as Chef MD. Dr. LaPuma began to develop his unique perspective of food as medicine when he took a sabbatical from a high-stress medical career and went to cooking school. He’s here to share some of the reader response to his best-selling book ChefMD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine: A Food Lover’s Road Map to Losing Weight, Preventing Disease, and Getting Really, Really, Really, Really Healthy.
