Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for
men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next
Year draws on the very latest science of aging to show how
men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year
for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like
fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy
life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave
off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging
(weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50%
of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real
thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to
apply himself to "Harry's Rules." Harry is Henry S. Lodge, M.D., a specialist in internal
medicine and preventive healthcare. Chris Crowley is
Harry's 70-year-old patient who's stronger today (and
skiing better) than when he was 40. Together, in
alternating chapters that are lively, sometimes outspoken,
and always utterly convincing, they spell out Harry's Rules
and the science behind them. The rules are deceptively
simple: Exercise Six Days a Week. Eat What You Know You
Should. Connect to Other People and Commit to Feeling
Passionate About Something. The science, simplified and
demystified, ranges from the molecular biology of growth
and decay to how our bodies and minds evolved (and why they
fare so poorly in our sedentary, all-feast no-famine
culture). The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift
in our view of aging. Welcome to the next third of your life--train for it, and
you'll have a ball.
