Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Stay Younger, Smarter, Healthier
Deborah Mitchell · 2012
58/100
👎 Skip It
A mainstream mass-market anti-aging guide with all the hallmarks — meal plans, 10-step programs, sensible lifestyle advice — from a prolific health journalist working for a major imprint. What it lacks is clinical depth or anything that genuinely differentiates it from a dozen similar books, and at 14 years old some of the nutritional science will have moved on. Fine if you want a readable introduction to healthy aging, but not the book to go deep with.
