Targeted at the general reader, the goal of this book is to show readers how to live a healthy life free from the debilitating effects of ageing, helping them to stay mentally alert and physically active, and making sure they get the most out of all of their years. It reveals practical steps to slow the ageing process and stay healthy – in short, how to stay younger for longer. With research showing that obesity, nutrition and lifestyle illnesses can hamper our body’s response to Covid-19, such advice has become even more crucial in reducing Covid-19 risk factors.

The key is to aim for optimal health. However, foucsing on one factor alone will not get us there. Our sleep, our mood, what we eat, our detoxification system and our hormones are just some of the factors that interact in amazing ways to make us who we are; they are also at the very heart of the ageing process.

This book shows how these different strands combine in ways that can be positive or negative, and explains why this interaction depends far more on the lifestyle we choose than on the genes we inherit. In that way it gives the reader a unique and comprehensive understanding of their body and tells them how, with this knowledge, they can optimise their health.

The topics range from nutrition, toxins, men’s health and women’s health to understanding why our skin, brain and liver age – and how to undo the damage and stave off ageing. But the book’s main focus underlying all of this is hormones: the chemicals that tell different parts of our body what to do. Our hormone levels vary throughout our life, but if they are supported correctly, they can keep us youthful and vital into our final years.

Finding health then is not about ‘seven ways to detox’ or ‘the five best vitamins’. The body is far more complex than that and, in an approach aimed specifically at the layperson, Younger for Longer traces the exciting path of how the body works to help the reader create the best person they can be for the rest of their life.

Many books have been published about using diet and lifestyle measures to improve health. Most have focused on food and exercise. Dr Carmichael goes much further with a truly holistic approach to health and a particular focus on the role of hormones in optimal wellbeing. This book covers everything from activity to zest, with sleep, stress and more in between. It's highly readable, well referenced and well explained. I highly recommend it.
