Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:You're coming into the peak of your life. And because youand#8217;re already more attuned to your physical and emotional needs, and more inclined to commit to a healthier lifestyle, you're poised to live brilliantly for the thirty-plus years after menopause. All you need now is the program outlined in Younger Next Year for Womenand#8212;which, for starters, will help you avoid literally 70 percent of the decay and eliminate 50 percent of the injuries and illnesses associated with getting older.
How? Drawn from disciplines as varied as evolutionary biology, cell physiology, experimental psychology and anthropology, the science behind Younger Next Yearis clear. Our bodies are programmed to do one of two things: either grow or decay. Sitting in front of a screen all day tells the body to decay. Taking a walk or doing yoga tells the body to grow. Loneliness and stress trigger decay; love and laughter trigger growth. Just as clear as the science is the goal: Become the active gatekeeper of your own body and gain the power to control those signals of growth and decay. Seven simple rules show the way, from #1 Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life, to #6 Care, to #7 Connect and commit. You're coming into the peak of your life.

Theyand#8217;re called Harryand#8217;s Rules, named for the doctor and coauthorand#8212;Henry S. Lodge, M.D.and#8212;who formulated them, and who explains the precise science behind each one. But since itand#8217;s one thing to know somethingand#8217;s good for you and quite another to put it into practice, Dr. Lodge, the scientist, is joined by Chris Crowleyand#8212;coauthor, exhorter and living exampleand#8212;whose brusque charm and infectious enthusiasm will actually have you living by the rules. So, congratulations. Youand#8217;re now about to get younger. Review:"Crowley and Lodge rework their bestselling Younger Next Year (which targeted men) to address health and aging concerns for women. Former attorney Crowley's chatty voice alternates with internist-gerontologist Lodge's straightforward medical perspective. The authors promise that major lifestyle changes, including a six-days-a-week exercise regime, and a positive view of aging will make the 'next third' of life — the stage after menopause — the most fulfilling. Because women live longer, are highly motivated for change and fear aging less than men do, the authors contend, they will reap great benefits from the program. Crowley and Lodge put their own spin on commonsense health essentials, with Lodge adding information on the latest antiaging breakthroughs. A variety of activities (biking, skiing, sailing, yoga) will likely make the intensive exercise plan more enjoyable. Although there is little new material, women may find the 71-year-old Crowley's cheerleading appealing — the old buddy tone of the previous edition is exchanged for that of a male 'girlfriend' — and a great motivator not only for making lifestyle changes but for equating health with how one feels, not how one looks." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
