Younger Next Year
Younger Next Year was recommended by a good friend who
said it changed his life. The subtitle is “Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy – Until You’re
80 and Beyond.” Once again, I’ve ventured into the realm of nonfiction. The book
is written by Chris Crowley, a retired trial attorney, and Henry S. Lodge,
M.D., an internist and gerontologist. This is an optimistic and exciting approach
to aging with a formula that consists of exercise, sensible diet, and developing
or maintaining relationships with people. We do not have to be victims of
age-related decline, but it will take some effort. Crowley provides a lot of anecdotal
information, and Lodge provides some science to back up their suggestions.
Their formula makes sense, and it’s based on being dedicated to the effort, exercising
6 days/week forever – lots of cardio and some strength training. They also
reasonably address topics like sex and alcohol use. The book and their promises
are entirely believable, and since this is about health and life, it seems
worth it to me to have a look at the book. There is a separate edition for women.
