DESCRIPTION:
About the Author Next Avenue is a website from PBS stations that inspires America’s 50+ generations to live the most meaningful, vibrant lives possible.
Whether your goal is to shed pounds, boost energy, beat back dementia or generally maintain good health and a sense of well-being, The Fiftysomething Diet points the way.. Can you make a resolution to live a healthier and happier life? These days, there’s no shortage of weight-loss programs or nutritional advice — media outlets are constantly releasing ‘late-breaking’ reports about dietary discoveries, many of which contradict previous recommendations. Next Avenue’s Fiftysomething Diet takes direct aim at the nutritional needs of those in the second stage of adulthood. This book from PBS and Next Avenue gathers advice and wisdom from blogs and articles written for nextavenue, a Web site designed for those in this new phase of life that we call Adult, Part 2. Yet, midlife is a time when natural physiological changes and the cumulative results of longstanding lifestyle habits demand that we rethink how we eat if we are to remain vital. Each chapter presents dietary suggestions that can maximize physical and cognitive wellness in the face of the normal bodily shifts and increased risk of disease that occur with age. This makes it quite difficult for anyone to know what actions to take. But if you are middle aged, there’s an additional obstacle: Very little of what we read and hear is specifically geared to providing dietary and nutritional guidance for people age 50 and over
I found it insightful and actionable. Kathleen K. I purchased all three of Next Avenue's ebooks after seeing a posting on PBS's Facebook page about them. I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a boring 300pg white paper about these topics, don't buy these books. If what you want is current, relevant and well sourced info that can make you life better beginning today, then you've found what you're looking for.. Peach said Really good information. Lots of "diet" books discuss theory but never quite tell a person what to do to make good choices about healthy ways to eat. I found this book got right to the point. It gives lists of foods in different categories that a person can take shopping with them. It is simple and clear enough for anyone to understand. I have recommended it as good advise.. "Great info" according to B.K.. The info in this book is clear, focused and presented in a way that makes it easily actionable. I think the price is fair. Coffee this morning cost me $5
