Eat Your Age – by Dr. Ian Smith

We previously reviewed Dr. Smith’s book about intermittent fasting, “Fast Burn”, and today it’s a less common topic, for while many people have written books about intermittent fasting, how many have written a decade-by-decade guide to optimal nutrition for each each age-range?

And that’s what he does here. With an eating plan for each age range (with recipes!), he explores what’s most important for our bodies in each decade. Of course, what is good or bad for us at one age will probably continue to be good or bad for us at another, but the truth is that we can do well to adjust what we’re eating to our changing bodies, and optimize what we can optimize, to give our body a boost (or a rest) in the ways it actually needs as we go.

It’s not all about nutrition (although that is definitely the “main course”); he also covers exercises at different ages, medical tests at different ages, and so forth.

The style is quite accessible pop-science, maybe even slightly lighter than 10almonds’ style (i.e. slightly fewer big words, etc), and/but still with frequent references to the hard science for those who do want to delve further.

Bottom line: if you’ve been wondering how to optimize what you’re eating for your changing body, this book can be a very handy guide!
