Synopsis: Youre coming into the peak of your life. And because youre already more attuned to your physical and emotional needs, and more inclined to commit to a healthier lifestyle, youre poised to live brilliantly for the thirty-plus years after menopause. All you need now is the program outlined in Younger Next Year for Women -which, for starters, will help you avoid literally 70 percent of the decay and eliminate 50 percent of the injuries and illnesses associated with getting older. How? Drawn from disciplines as varied as evolutionary biology, cell physiology, experimental psychology and anthropology, the science behind Younger Next Year is clear. Our bodies are programmed to do one of two things: either grow or decay. Sitting in front of a screen all day tells the body to decay. Taking a walk or doing yoga tells the body to grow. Loneliness and stress trigger decay; love and laughter trigger growth. Just as clear as the science is the goal: Become the active gatekeeper of your own body and gain the power to control those signals of growth and decay. Seven simple rules show the way, from #1 Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life, to #6 Care, to #7 Connect and commit . Youre coming into the peak of your life.

Theyre called Harrys Rules, named for the doctor and coauthor-Henry S. Lodge, M.D.-who formulated them, and who explains the precise science behind each one. But since its one thing to know somethings good for you and quite another to put it into practice, Dr. Lodge, the scientist, is joined by Chris Crowley-coauthor, exhorter and living example-whose brusque charm and infectious enthusiasm will actually have you living by the rules. So, congratulations. Youre now about to get younger.
