Book Reviews of Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples
Book Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
John Robbins' other book, The Food Revolution, was a real eye-opener for me. So out of curiosity, I picked up this book at the bookstore and couldn't put it down. The Food Revolution had a lot of information for the head: research, case studies, politics, etc. This book communicates more on the level of the heart. It starts with delving into the lifestyles of some of the healthiest peoples on earth. Granted, it doesn't go extremely deep and probably doesn't give a completely unbiased account, but it is still enjoyable to read and consider. Robbins then explores how exercise and our treatment of our bodies affect our longevity. Finally, he discusses relationships and how they influence our health. While he does include some statistics, he focuses mostly on case studies and examples and does so with a very pleasant writing style. As I progressed to the end of the book, I felt very inspired. His words are very uplifting and encourage the pursuit of a healthy and meaningful life. There are a couple of reviewers who are critical of Robbins' obvious bias in favor of a vegan lifestyle. Robbins firmly believes in what he writes. I don't think he is trying to offer up both sides of the argument. Our society is constantly inundated with messages about how meat and dairy products are essential for a complete and healthy diet. For this reason I think it's entirely appropriate for Robbins to provide the case for veganism. He has definitely convinced me. The Food Revolution is more evidence-heavy, but Health at 100 is good for the heart.
