i loved this sequel to The Care and Keeping of You
This insightful book examines how lifestyle can shape healthy aging. The book provides practical tips across mental, physical, and emotional health to maximize long-term happiness and fulfillment.
This enjoyable book is full of useful information. If you listen to the audiobook edition, it might be helpful to bookmark relevant passages so you can refer back to them later.

Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging: An Easy and Comprehensive Guide to Keeping Your Body Young, Your Mind Sharp and Your Spirit Fulfilled
By Nathan K. LeBrasseur Ph.D., Christina Chen M.D.
Narrated by Daniel Henning
If my parents were still around I'd give them this book because I know they'd enjoy reading/hearing it. I was already familiar with most of what is in it but then I'm a health and fitness nerd. Still, even though I knew most of what's in the this book, I enjoyed listening to the audiobook while I walking on my treadmill and did chores around the house. Since my husband and I eat healthy, are very active even when not specifically exercising, and make room for exercise in each day, I had a bit of an ego boost listening to the book.
But the great thing is that this book explains in simple to understand and clear words what each of us can do to improve our health at any age. It covers all aspects of improving health, giving suggestions on how to find motivation, and touching on the mental, physical, and emotional parts of lifestyle changes. Narrator Daniel Henning's voice is so soothing and calm and I think he was a really good choice to narrate this book.
There is quite a bit of repetition in the book, with the authors coming at things from different but similar angles in the first half of the book and then the second half of the book, but that isn't a complaint. At times there are detailed instructions on how to perform certain exercises and even though I was listening to the book rather than seeing the written word, I had no trouble following how to perform the maneuvers.
Medical tests throughout adulthood are explained, including when you should have certain tests and why. Health conditions are explained and all explanations are pretty basic but I think that's a good thing about this book. You can research more deeply certain subjects or take them up with your doctor if you want to know more about them. This book lets you know why your body needs for you to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and let go of harmful habits that hurt your health. Instructions to start small are given which means this is a book I can share with friends who want to improve their health but think it is too hard or that they aren't up to the task. The littlest of things can make a difference and then each person can expand their healthy habits from there, in a way that is best for them.
Finally there are suggestions and advice for retirement years and beyond, to help people to recognize how to best prepare themselves for their later years in the best way. Healthy eating and healthy movement are an important part of every age and this is a book that can be helpful to all ages. It is also a great jumping off point for those who would like to know more, whether they get that information from other books or their health care providers.
