Time marches on inevitably, they say. With each passing year, this writer grows aware of things that were once fun, but now seem difficult. Most of all, it is the self-obsession over how one looks and feels as they grow older. For fitness coach and founder of Body Art, Nawaz Modi Singhania, ageing is an experience to be managed, rather than avoided. In her latest book, Pause, Rewind: Natural Anti-Ageing Techniques (Penguin Random House), she approaches the subject through the lens of fitness, nutrition and self-development and applies those learnings to suggest ways to live better as you grow older.

Written in a lucid and easy-to-grasp template, the book offers these insights in layman’s terms. It certainly helps that the author also applies her own experiences to outline these examples.
