This was a very interesting read and one I would recommend to anyone wanting to get started on making healthier changes in their life. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I appreciated this book being separated by age groups. Too many times, health-related books/advice are very general or don’t take into account the different stages of life and how we may need different things along the way. This book is a great starting place if you’re considering overhauling your health. It is easy enough to follow the graphs and recommendations without being overwhelming. I was pleasantly surprised that there was information on working out and more included. There were a lot of helpful tips and actionable information without any extremes like super overpriced supplements, inaccessible special treatments, or other things of that nature that are almost inevitable in health/wellness books nowadays.

Thank you to #NetGalley for a review copy of #EatYourAge. All feedback is my unbiased opinion, not paid, and simply for the love of books.

This book had some useful information, but it felt repetitive and overly simplistic. It’s more of a general guide to how the body changes in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s rather than a deep dive into longevity. Many claims lacked solid evidence, and the health advice, while practical, didn’t offer much beyond the basics. The recipes were simple but didn’t fully align with the book’s own recommendations. Overall, it’s fine for beginners, but if you’re already familiar with health and longevity, there’s not much new here.

Thank you to NetGalley & William Morrow.

This is a very helpful book that’s a bit misnamed because it has to do with a lot of health interventions besides dietary. It goes into your biggest health challenges and changes for each decade and the most important nutrients, activities, health concerns, tests to run, etc. It did feel as if multiple chapters covered the same information, but it had a lot of good information. It had a lot of information on different types of exercises and how to do them. It also covers a lot of the most common health concerns for each decade like joint problems or muscle loss and specific lifestyle changes to minimize them.

I read a digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

Interesting take on how the needs of the body and brain change over time -- what we need to do in our 30s is different from in our 60s. Dr. Smith lays out food and supplement options, as the title suggests, but also exercise and other suggestions. A lot of actionable advice!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Eat Your Age is an informative book that contains best practices for eating, exercise, and general health in the decades of your 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. When I selected this book, I thought I would be getting best nutritional practices for multiple ages; however, I did not expect to also get a hefty amount of exercise and health advise. The author walks the reader through each decade of life in regard to what one should eat, how one should exercise, and what tests you should be asking your doctor to assign you. Diet (with some recipes) was only a small part of this book. Much of the information is general, so if an overview with some specifics is what you are looking for, pick up this book. It may send you on a hunt for more in- depth information. This is a good starter book for someone who is curious and wants to do better with their health in the upcoming year.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harvest for this ARC.

This book is informative. It’s well written and easy to follow, but I don’t think this book is anything ground breaking what so ever. I’ve read lots of health books over the years, listen to podcast etc and can’t say that I learned one thing from this book. This book is more for someone who needs an overhaul with their education of health and to turn their health around.

Thank you for the ARC!
This book had great information but a lot of it was not new to me so I felt myself wanting to skim it. I also felt that some of it was repetitive.
