Along with his wife, Martha, pediatrician Sears-author of more than 30 books and a colon cancer survivor-provides middle agers with practical advice on staying healthy. Here, he lays out easy-to-read steps on how to plan for a healthy retirement by focusing on protecting the heart, brain, gut, eyes, ears, lungs, bones, joints, skin, and gums, an area rarely covered in other health guides. He begins by exploring how the body changes with age and how we can improve health through lifestyle like buying household plants and air purifiers to aid in breathing. Focusing on nutrition throughout, Sears gives examples of healthy foods and provides sample menus and tips. He also covers such topics as sleeping, general well being, health care, and fitness. The concluding chapter contains an action plan to incorporate the healthy tips into everyday life. Verdict Although there is some repetitiveness, Sears's text is simple to follow and includes valuable illustrations. His latest work will appeal to middle-aged consumers looking to lead a healthier life. Many may recognize the Sears name from his parenting books.
