Product Description: Co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley, Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. This is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. Using the same inspired structure of alternating voices, Chris and Harry have recast material specifically for women, who already live longer and take better care of themselves than men. New material covers menopause and post-menopause, as well as cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, and more.
This is the book that can show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation.
Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.
Younger Next Year for Women Chris Crowley & Dr. Lodge spelled it out for all of us. Bottom line, we all need to get off the couch and work out six days a week or we are just going to decay. I got the message loud and clear. I bought a heart monitor and I am following everything in the book. Great advise for all of us. I feel better than I have felt in years and have lost weight and inches.
Thanks to both of you.

Younger Next Year for Women My physician handed me a prescription with the title of this book written on it at my last check up. As I no longer seem to have the time to read in my chaotic life, I got it on audio to listen to on my daily commute. I am extremely impressed and inspired by this book. This is the only book on health that spoke both to my head and to my heart. The authors are an internal medicine doctor who specializes in gerentology and a 71 year old retired lawyer who is his patient. They explain how 70% of aging is optional/avoidable. They back it up with recent finds in the biochemistry of exercise and present the information in an evolutionary framework. The narration is a very satisfying combination of well explained science, rather witty humor, and it is bursting with optimism. It is targeted for an audience in their 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. I consider this book a life-changer ( at the ripe old age of 42! ) and have recommended it to many of my friends and co-workers. Do yourself a big favor and listen to what these guys have to say - it will improve the quality of your health and life.
Baby Boomers Bibliophile Must Have! One of the most informative texts I have ever read on the subjects of exercise, health and diet for those of us who are over 40. Very succinct and credible. Have your hi-liter handy when reading this book.
YNY: For Women A must read for all Americans (men can choose the male version). As the USA becomes the fattest country on the planet we need to take action. Start living healthier and LOOKING BETTER!!!
Younger Next Year Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and SexyUntil You're 80 and Beyond Good advice, but mostly common sense. I don't agree with all of the information, but I took what was right for me. Eat right.Don't drink too much--except water. And exrcise-six days a week is a bit much though. Interesting juxtaposition between advice from a professional (a doctor and a layman. The layman's writing was colorful and more fun to read.
