Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy--until You're 80 and Beyond
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.
