Younger each day - By: 51 Years Young, 16 Jun 2006
This is a good addition to the authors' previous book. It isn't the usual blah, blah, blah, but scientific information which amount to common sense. I am grateful to the authors for keeping me & my wife young at heart. I was happy to buy for my wife this book as "her own" copy, after we both extensively studied the original "Younger Next Year". Another great book that I highly recommend is "Can We Live 150 Year". In fact these two titles should be sold in one package.
HANDY REFERENCE AND A FINE MOTIVATOR - By: Gail Cooke, 08 Jan 2006
Using their recent bestseller "Younger Next Year" as a springboard, authors Crowley & Lodge now offer "Younger Next Year for Women." Obviously, there are different health issues to be addressed for the women & the authors have done so concisely, in easy to understand language, & with an optimum of encouragement.

As Gail Sheehy notes in her foreword, "Extraordinary...Use it as a kind of bible; reread a few pages now & then, to remind you of the central commandment: Jump in for the rest of your life."

And, according to the authors, the rest of our lives can be healthier, happier, thinner, & younger. Related in alternating chapters, Lodge & Crowley tell readers how to become functionallly younger & learn to live like healthy, fit 50-year-olds when the candles on the cake say we're in our eighties or more.

We learn that 70% of what we normallly refer to as aging is optional. In this category are signs of weakness, sore joints & apathy. Perhaps more importantly, we're told that 50% of alll aging associated illnesses can be eliminated.. Sound too good to be true? Crowley & Lodge posit that what you have to do is follow the rules, which are

Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious aerobic exercise for four days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious strength training, with weights. (For how long? You guessed it - the rest of your life.)
Spend less than you make.
Quit eating junk!
Care.
Connect & commit.

Re the last rule the importance of being passionate about something is stressed. Can't summon passion? At least be very interested in - keep your mind alert. And, make friends, connect with other people.

"Younger Next Year for Women" isn't a book that can be quickly digested - there's much food for thought & action. Gail Sheehy is correct - this book's a keeper so that you can refer to it again & again.
