Prime Time Health By Dr. William Sears

Prime Time Health By Dr. William Sears

Healthy Anti Aging Made Simple


I was lucky enough to get a copy of Prime Time Health. I have to admit that when I first pulled this thick book out of the mailbox, I groaned a little. Oh no, I thought, not another really big book to review when I have so many projects going on at the same time. But I sat down on a lazy Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and this book, and I surprised myself because I read it for hours. (Don’t worry, the book says moderate coffee drinking is fine as long as we take in enough calcium!)

Summary of Prime Time Health By Dr. William Sears (MD) and Martha Sears (RN)

I do not really believe that I read anything about what we should do to prevent medical problems in middle age and beyond that I hadn’t already come accross from previous research on anti aging and natural health. But this particular book explains what we should do, and how we should do it in a simple and concrete way that I had never seen before. In addition, Prime Time Health really explains why we should make our health a hobby in a clear way I had never understood before!

Baby Boomers Fiction – Underlying Notes by Eva Pasco

Baby Boomers Fiction – Underlying Notes by Eva Pasco

Read any Good Books Lately?

Front_girl smallI have purchased and enjoyed Underlying Notes by Eva Pasco. Note: you can follow the link in the previous sentence to enjoy the first 3 chapters and order the book for yourself. It is a gripping story about an everywoman who reinvents herself at an age when many of us are just trying to settle in.

We are thrilled and quite flattered to include some words from the author too! The essay below was written for those of us in the over 50 age group who are sentimental about Christmas seasons of the past.

The Ghosts of Christmases Past

 

Kindred over-fifty readers, we’re not “over the hill,” but perched on its summit affording our mind’s eye a panoramic purview of vestiges from the past: black and white TV, canned sit-com laughter, drugstores with soda fountains, cobblers, milkmen, two-laned highways, saddle shoes and knee socks, film reels, back-to-back double features at the movie theater…Never one to personally embrace Norman Rockwell’s brush stroked vision of Americans on canvas, this holiday season, more so than any other, I find myself in need of insulation from the stark reality that plays out day to day as though we are impoverished Cratchits– our garments picked threadbare from the exorbitant cost of living and repercussions from the recession.  The H1N1 pandemic and increasing incidents of violence making headline news send me scrambling to the crest of the hill, seeking solace and sanctuary from ghosts of Christmases past hovering over earth’s blanket of freshly fallen snow, untrodden and unsodden by folly.

From Eva Pasco:

An Acerbic Twist of Lime

“…More than a cocktail for hot flashes and fluctuating libido, Carla
Matteo’s introspective journey along the Second Act of Life propels
UNDERLYING NOTES by Eva Pasco, a bittersweet …”

O-o-o-ps! I must have had one of those postmenopausal power surges by way
of offering you a Tequila Sunrise before worming my way through the apple.
I suspect that many of us on the brink of sixty who may have burned our bras
in the Sixties, protested the war, or perchance altered our minds with
psychedelia even if we only wore plaid…aren’t buying into the Menopausal
Manifesto.
