Henry S. Lodge M.D.Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, Sexy, and Smart―Until You’re 80 and Beyond

This has been a very informative book,written in a very entertaining manner. They bring up great points for all aging people to keep in mind and more importantly to imp,event, so that you’ll be younger next year.

This is not a weight loss book. It’s a way of life. It teaches the importance of getting off the couch 1 hr per day at least 6 days per week. Written by a doctor and lawyer. The doctor hated to see the rapid decline in his patients as they aged. So, he wrote a simple book to help them age well.

The book is easy to read. Information is common sense. Read it and gave it away.

I leaned a lot about physical fitness & myself reading this book. I’m now following script w 6 workouts a week, half fat burning & the other glucose. Loosing weight, building muscle, feeling healthy … I am a believer. So much so, this was my go-to holiday gift to so many friends.

Take agency of your “old age” and put the ideas in this book into practice now. As entertaining as it is informative, it should be required read in for everyone as they turn 40.

Ok, well I don't really write many reviews on the books, but this one... It kinda changed my life. I read it at a really opportune moment and I just jumped in. TLDR - 4 days a week of cardio and 2 days of strength training and don't eat crap... Yea, I know kinda logical but the way the book works is it gives you the science first and then lays out a plan that you can sort of slide into. Its been over 60 days and I really feel so much better and I hope I can stick to it. This book just might have made my life better - how many times can you say that about a book?

So good read one chapter and pick one thing I chose a trainer 2x week at local small gym for resistance/Strength training with balance and mobility also. Very motivating listing and sometimes reading this book!Plz seniors don’t hesitate start now I am a believer in his teaching!

“Despite living the Younger Next Year life to the fullest,” we’re told in this revised edition, “Harry had some bad luck and died young.” Tragically, co-author Henry S. Lodge died of prostate cancer at the age of 58. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.And sure, many factors are at play in the development and prognosis of cancer. Genetics for one. Randomness or “bad luck” as well. And while there is nothing we can do to eliminate the risk of cancer 100%, science has repeatedly shown that there are dietary and lifestyle choices we can make that will significantly shift the odds in our favor. Few of them are mentioned here.With Dr. Lodge’s tragic death in mind, I’m dismayed by how little attention is given to nutrition in a book about living well into old age. One slim chapter, full of outdated misinformation. Years of thorough, peer-reviewed research with actionable conclusions are omitted. Instead, we’re told that when it comes to nutrition, “no one really knows.” That’s simply not true. Unfortunately, this attitude is all too prevalent within the medical community.There is some useful information here for those dealing with old age. The advice on exercise is certainly valuable as well as the emphasis on the importance of relationships and practical tips on how to fill your days in a meaningful manner after retirement. But without proper nutritional guidance, this book rings hollow.Rest in peace, Dr. Lodge.
