Literary Redhead ，

A great resource for healthy aging， content-rich yet easy to read and comprehend， from the highly regarded Mayo Clinic。 Highly recommended！

This is an excellent resource for anyone who is overwhelmed by all of the information that’s floating around on healthy aging。 Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging contains many time-tested ideas on to living healthily （at any age）， covering physical and mental health， the power of community， recovering from injury and much more。 I do not know enough about Medicare and was impressed by the comprehensiveness of that section of the book — that alone might be worth the purchase price！ Thanks to NetGalley a This is an excellent resource for anyone who is overwhelmed by all of the information that’s floating around on healthy aging。 Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging contains many time-tested ideas on to living healthily （at any age）， covering physical and mental health， the power of community， recovering from injury and much more。 I do not know enough about Medicare and was impressed by the comprehensiveness of that section of the book — that alone might be worth the purchase price！ Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC。 。。。more

For people who are just beginning to learn about healthy habits that can slow aging and promote health and vitality into their older years， this book and audiobook are a great place to start。 Since I'm pretty far along on my journey， I didn't learn a great deal。 However， the later section on Medicare and health cost considerations post-retirement was helpful to me。Thanks to Dreamscape Media， Mayo Clinic Press， and NetGalley for a review copy of this audiobook。 For people who are just beginning to learn about healthy habits that can slow aging and promote health and vitality into their older years， this book and audiobook are a great place to start。 Since I'm pretty far along on my journey， I didn't learn a great deal。 However， the later section on Medicare and health cost considerations post-retirement was helpful to me。Thanks to Dreamscape Media， Mayo Clinic Press， and NetGalley for a review copy of this audiobook。 。。。more

If you are wanting a broad overview of health in many different aspects than this could be a great book for you。 I would have liked a little bit more science and going a little bit deeper and to each topic but then the book would have probably been twice as big。 I listen to the audiobook and so hopefully the hardcover will have footnotes and citations so that you can go and look at some of the things on your own。 I did learn a few nuggets of information that are helpful and interesting。Thank you If you are wanting a broad overview of health in many different aspects than this could be a great book for you。 I would have liked a little bit more science and going a little bit deeper and to each topic but then the book would have probably been twice as big。 I listen to the audiobook and so hopefully the hardcover will have footnotes and citations so that you can go and look at some of the things on your own。 I did learn a few nuggets of information that are helpful and interesting。Thank you to #netgalley for the audio arc in exchange for my honest and independent review。 。。。more

Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging presents the reader （or listener， in this case） with a very vast array of infirmation and advice on how to age well， from a holistic point of view。 What I appreciated most， in fact， is that an authoritative source in the medical field as the Mayo Clinic offers an extensive overview of all the important aspects to consider and act upon to be in good health including non-medical elements as well and highlighting that genes are not the only aspect that influence our hea Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging presents the reader （or listener， in this case） with a very vast array of infirmation and advice on how to age well， from a holistic point of view。 What I appreciated most， in fact， is that an authoritative source in the medical field as the Mayo Clinic offers an extensive overview of all the important aspects to consider and act upon to be in good health including non-medical elements as well and highlighting that genes are not the only aspect that influence our health and aging。 The book is well organized and easy to navigate， presents information in a very clear way， perfect even for people with a very basic knowledge or no knowledge at all of health and medicine。 I listened to the audio book and I found it difficult to follow at times: it's true that I could go back and listen to the part I was interested in of course but I think this book， with its encyclopedic style， is better as a physical paper or Kindle book， to be easily consulted whenever one has a doubt or is curious about something， otherwise， as in my case， you needed to take notes。 Other aspects I didn't totally enjoy were the very generic nature of some information， whereas I would've enjoyed some detailed information， and that at times the book was repetitive， but I guess it's intended to be like that on purpose so that people who read it can easily memorize important things about the topic。 。。。more

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。Thanks， NetGalley， for the ARC I received。 This is my honest and voluntary review。

This is a helpful introduction to aging in a healthier way。 The book includes the science of aging， including familiar concepts like cellular senescence and autophagy， but also goes into simple， practical things anyone can do to both help themselves prolong their healthspan and to deal with health-related limitations when aging related decline does happen。I liked the easy to understand layout and writing style。 It made the concepts very accessible and easy to apply。 I also liked the realistic， b This is a helpful introduction to aging in a healthier way。 The book includes the science of aging， including familiar concepts like cellular senescence and autophagy， but also goes into simple， practical things anyone can do to both help themselves prolong their healthspan and to deal with health-related limitations when aging related decline does happen。I liked the easy to understand layout and writing style。 It made the concepts very accessible and easy to apply。 I also liked the realistic， but optimistic， approach to aging。 This isn’t a book that pretends you can avoid aging or age without any loss of hearing/vision/memory， etc - instead it helps you try to slow that decline and then provides advice for how to deal with the decline once it happens， so that losing capabilities doesn’t have to mean your life sucks now。Thanks， NetGalley， Mayo Clinic Press， and Dreamscape， for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

5 stars When a book about aging lands in your queue a couple of nights before you're going to have an atypical mole excised because 'you just can't escape your genetics， especially at this age，' （P。S。 I'm fine and not THAT old！） well， there's nothing to do but press play。 And that could go either way: instant celebration of life planning or some sense that there's still hope。 Fortunately for me and for all future readers， this book takes the latter approach！ I found this both riveting and surpri 5 stars When a book about aging lands in your queue a couple of nights before you're going to have an atypical mole excised because 'you just can't escape your genetics， especially at this age，' （P。S。 I'm fine and not THAT old！） well， there's nothing to do but press play。 And that could go either way: instant celebration of life planning or some sense that there's still hope。 Fortunately for me and for all future readers， this book takes the latter approach！ I found this both riveting and surprisingly uplifting， though the whole time I wondered if being in my early （edging up on mid） 40s made me have a very different reading experience than I might have in 20+ more years。 The book is logically structured， and I especially enjoyed the first part， which goes through a comprehensive list of the typical ways in which people age， the related diagnostic testing and treatment （minorly）， and especially WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT NEGATIVE OUTCOMES。 This is where the hopeful part comes in。 Readers don't just learn about inevitable falling apart; there are proactive strategies here。 Will all of them sound revolutionary？ No。 Is it still good to hear recent updates and research？ YES。 If you have some good habits now， you'll be glad and know what to add。 If your habits are not great， well， you'll get options， and you won't get shamed， which I have to assume is helpful。 The latter part of the book offers even more in the way of strategies。 Throughout， there's an interesting workbook style series of reminders to reflect on what's been covered， your current status， and what， if any， changes you might make。 This adds to the hopeful tone， of course。 This is not the kind of book I was looking for or typically read， but it hit at just the right moment， and I'm finding it coming up frequently in random conversations even just a few hours after finishing it。 If you're reading this， you're aging （congrats！）， and there's good info in this book just for you。 *Special thanks to NetGalley and Mayo Clinic Press for this alc， which I received in exchange for an honest review。 The opinions expressed here are my own。 。。。more
