Younger Next Year

Written by Chris Crowley & Henry S. Lodge, M.D.

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 shows you how to turn back your biological clock – 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 secret? Over the millions and millions of years of human development, both body and brain have developed a system of messages that signal either growth or decay. Now, because of the latest developments in fields as diverse as cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology and ecology, we understand the messages – and how to control them.

The key to the program is found in "Harry's Rules": Exercise six days a week. Don't eat bad food. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules in total, and together they can change the Next Third of your life – dramatically for the better! 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 your 80's and beyond.
