This assignment is for a mock magazine article. You are being asked to draft an article for a general interest magazine such as National Geographic. Use your own words and cite your sources not in APA style but as part of the text. The only sources to use are the citations below and the attachments I have included. The article should be written to appeal to adults of all ages. Focus on what individuals can do to avoid age-related illnesses and promote optimal physical and cognitive development during their adult years.
Be sure to include the following:
A description of the natural process of aging, an overview of what adults can expect in terms of biological, cognitive, and health changes over time.
Do not just repeat the summaries from the textbook.
Use your own ideas and words.
Suggestions that adults might follow (starting in young adulthood and continuing into their middle and later adult years) that will help them lead full and productive lives well into old age, minimizing or controlling where possible various physical and cognitive disabilities and poor health.
