About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Because I work in the beauty industry I have to read many beauty/skin care related books. After reading hundreds or thousands of books, I should say Younger Next Year is one of my favorite one and this is truly brilliant book! It will help you a lot and change your mind. I also recommend another book by Dr. Kong, called "Younger Next Day" it's about a very efficient revolutionized anti-aging method. Both of the book are really worth reading! 5 star! Highly recommended!

This book let me understand that the common expectation of growing old, getting sick and immobile, then dying does not have to be the last third of life. I am excited that I now have strategies and motivation to get moving, keep moving, eat right, and attend to my social, spiritual, and emotional needs. Thanks Harry and Chris! I feel like I have two new friends.

Covers a lot!
