I recently read this book based upon a recommendation from Head Butler. (There's also a Younger Next Year For Women and a Younger Next Year website.) The idea of the book is that you can become functionally younger every year and live a healthy life well into your eighties and beyond.
The key is to follow Harry's Rules
- Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.
- Do serious aerobic exercise four days a week for the rest of your life.
- Do serious strength training, with weights, two days a week for the rest of your life.
- Spend less than you make.
- Quit eating crap!
- Care.
- Connect and commit.
For all those baby boomers looking to stay healthy and vital in their later years, this book is filled with sound advice. Harry tells you the medical reasons and why the seven rules are important to your health. Chris is a seventy-year-old who writes in a friendly easygoing style and explains first hand how following the rules has changed and enhanced his life.
Check out the website, read the Head Butler review or those on Amazon, and give it a try. Who knows, the life you extend may be your own.
