Why did this book make my “Nic’s Picks” list?
Well, besides the irony that the book was written by John Robbins, son of Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream co-founder, Healthy at 100 explores 4 specific areas of the world that are known for their high population of centenarians (those who live to 100+) and supercentenarians (those who live to 110+). Even though these cultures are in distinctly different areas of the world, they have commonalities – their approach to diet, activity, stress and socializing/relationships. The result is they are the world’s healthiest and oldest people. No matter what your age, this book is worth the read and as world-renowned medical doctor Dean Ornish states: “Healthy at 100 is a masterpiece.”
