Younger Next Year for Women (Live Like You're 50-… di Chris Crowley
An Important Book! Even though the old guy can get a bit much in his sections, this book should be a must-read for everyone (obviously men don't need the "for women" one) over, say, 50. The doctor's sections are fascinating with all the actual biological stuff about our 3 brains & just how the human body works & why. It's inspiring but is going to be hard to live up to. We must try!
If I'm not mistaken, they want you to exercise...
I really enjoyed this book. I am baffled by the negative reviews saying it is just an exercise book. There is so much more to this book. Yes, the focal point is getting you to MOVE. We, as humans, are becoming a sedentary, obese society. As we age, we decline and so many live their later years unable to enjoy their life. I was in medicine for most of my life and have seen vibrant YOUNG 90 year olds and OLD 50 year olds. This book addresses this issue and ways to LIVE a quality life in your later years. Yes, exercise is the main thing. but they also discuss diet. They discuss the importance of social connection and even sex to living a younger strong fit life. One of the things I really like about this book is how it discusses the science behind everything. It made it a very interesting read and not just a do this get healthy book.
Many of the things I am doing already since the divorce and my new job and I definitely feel better than I did 15 years ago. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is over 40 and even younger. We start declining at 30. What they recommend is not that difficult and can make a difference. They have a version that is not for women but is basically the same book.… (altro)

This is the second book I've read that prescribes heavy weights to make a difference to health & longevity. I'm convinced.
