Aging Gracefully for Women Over 50

This is an absolutely fantastic book that contains many wise insights. I will only give one example so as not to spoil the book. Humans are hardwired to detect threats, due to a background in hunter gathering. This was so obvious when I considered it, but I hadn't realised it before. Of course it is only a theory, but it makes sense to me and I tend towards believing it. The book discusses aspects of being over fifty that I had never considered. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

This book is subtitled Dr. Steve’s guide to help reverse aging disease, weight gain, and energy lost. This sounds quite ambitious to me so I was very curious to discover what these pages held.

This book covers a great deal. There are sections on food and diet, physical health, sleep, lifestyle changes, preventing illness and even one of finding happiness through gratitude. The book ends with a section on the secrets of anti-aging. Included here are tips on everything from dress to sunscreen.

Read this book in order or dip in wherever you are most focused. There is a lot of information here.

One thing that I liked was the author’s positive attitude toward some aspects of aging. This is encapsulated in his comment on the word “growing” in the phrase “growing older.”

I did find it interesting that a title on women and aging was written by a male doctor. He obviously can’t know exactly what it feels like to be a woman of whatever age. Nonetheless, I feel that this book is worth a look. There is much to think about here and lots of practical suggestions.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this title. All opinions are my own.

This book was a pleasant surprise! The author delves into so many areas of a woman's life that can improve both her physical and mental health. A little of what I found to be most beneficial was: dieting--what to do instead; foods to add to your day; exercises; tips for better sleep; suggestions for mindfulness and much more.

I've read similar books, but this is the most comprehensive by far.

Lots of good information here. I believe his message is authentic. Nowadays, we have lots of anti-age approaches and diets, but it's nice to hear from a Doctor. Very practical and easy to refer back to tips along the way.

Fantastic book! Loved the authors positivity about being 50 and over. He covered so many great topics. From losing weight, vitamins and supplements to take as you get older, and intermittent fasting. This book was written in an easy to understand and well thought out. Thank you to net galley and the publisher for an ARC

Now that I'm over 50 I always read this type of book whenever I see them. I really enjoyed reading this book by Dr. Steve Kringold. He covers topics like intermittent fasting (which I love!), the importance of sleep and exercise, and things to stay away from to stay healthy. The last 2 chapters are about cultivating a lifestyle of gratitude and secrets of anti-aging. These are all great reminders and if you haven't read anything like this, I highly recommend it.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

This book was great for me! Since I am having some health issues this year I was looking for tips to improve my health. I am starting with the skincare routine but also the omega 3 supplements will be definitely on my list. There are many more tips to read about! It is easy read and some tips are well know but better explained by the writer.

Thanks author and publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review!

Very comprehensive with many tips and suggestions. Very well written and explained. Thank you netgalley and publisher for this arc in exchange of an honest review

Many thanks to NetGalley, to BooksGoSocial and to the author for letting me see an advance reader’s copy of Aging Gracefully for Women Over 50.

Full disclosure: I will admit that when I first saw the title of this book and that it was written by a man, I was a little… affronted on behalf of women over 50 everywhere. Then I saw that the guy is a retired doctor and that if a doctor didn’t know how to grow old gracefully, or even disgracefully, then maybe no one would. So I gave it a punt and I’m glad that I did.

The book covers topics such as intermittent fasting, and the various versions of IF, keeping a gratitude journal, exercising, eating well, and more besides. I read it in only a few sittings, so it was a nice, comfortable read, even with the science references to back up the doctor’s research.

The best thing the author did was to remind us to celebrate reaching the age of 50 and beyond, and he didn’t try to sugar-coat any of the irreversible stuff, which in itself was refreshing. But he did spend time on how to stop the irreversible stuff getting any worse. And there’s still much that can be improved and prevented.

Someone else has said that women should start to read this book from the age of 40 in order to get some prep time in, and I agree. But the other good thing that the author stressed was that it doesn’t matter what you haven’t done until now, and that starting now is the next best time to start.

There’s a Facebook group that goes with the book, if readers want to follow the link, and there’s a bonus book readers can download in pdf form.

This book gave me a good, sharp shake and reminded me that it isn’t too late to concentrate on your health and wellbeing: physical and mental.

Five stars.

This easy-to-read book gives sensible advice about ageing. In 8 brief chapters, it touches upon a variety of topics such as preventing illness, diabetes, skin care, mindset and gratitude. Each chapter ends with a quick summary of the main points. The advice is sensible, applicable and very positive. While there is nothing new in all of the content it is good to be reminded.

The author Dr Steve Kringold is passionate about reversing the aging process and diseases that are associated with it. He wants to help women feel better about themselves. In this book, a holistic approach is looked at what you're eating, what you're doing to stay active, how you're sleeping and what one is thinking and feeling, and everything that contributes to your overall health.

So the author advises his client not to compare herself to others which opens the door to insecurity and self-doubt where you will feel worse about yourself. To age gracefully, mindset is an important part that is often neglected. My favorite part of the book was about Intermittent fasting and the ways to lose weight which I personally struggle to consistently keep at times. The unbelievable benefits of Intermittent fasting include:- Insulin regulation, increasing human growth hormone levels, cellular repair, gene expression, lose weight. If you are a person who is trying to understand Intermittent fasting with your doctor's help this book is a good guide to Intermittent fasting which can cause weight loss and of between three and eight percent in anything between 3- 24 weeks. This is a remarkable number. Intermittent fasting helps prevent cancer, good for your brain, prolongs your life as you follow the protocols of Intermittent fasting. The 16/8 protocol, 5:2 diet, alternate day fasting, eat-stop-eat where you fast for 24 hours twice a week, the warrior diet of part of Intermittent fasting. This book stresses on how to enjoy a balanced diet - the benefits of getting active - as exercise has many anti - aging benefits - the benefits of sleep - which causes sleep issues - Restoring your energy - Quit smoking - Avoid too much sugar - Stay hydrated - Form connections - How to prevent illness and so on...

I found this book extremely helpful full of insights and information to manage your lifestyle wisely - to control weight gain by exercising, following a wholesome diet, reducing stress, quitting smoking and care of yourself, and practicing gratitude.
