This was fine, but could have been more succinct. Basically do all the things that you probably already know are good for you. Live amongst your extended family. Preferably in a stress free environment. Laugh often. Walk lots. Eat less. Mainly a plant and grain based diet. Done.Feb 02, 2008
I really wanted to like this book. John Robbins 'Diet for a New America' was very influential on my journey towards being Vegan. Healthy at 100 does have its heart in the right place. The problem is that it probably would have made a better magazine article than book. Robbins repeats himself over and over and over again. Sections end with long 'to do lists' which feel like brainstorming notes and the end takeaway is pretty simple: eat veg, connect with the community, get exercise, find purpose I really wanted to like this book.

What sets this book apart from most books on health is that the last third of the book focuses on how strong interpersonal relationships are more of a determiner of health as we age than smoking or poor diets! Here's a favorite..Sep 08, 2009
Nothing has inspired me to eat better and live better more than this book.Apr 18, 2008
Enjoyable reading, solid research, good end-notes, great book.Mar 27, 2011
Live longer and healthier via diet and lifestyle.Jan 20, 2012
This is one of the few books I come across that deserves 5 stars. I am happy that Robbins mentioned the village of Vilcabamba in Ecuador. I've known about the longevity of their people for a long time. The differences among cultures is astounding. With regards to stress, (and the fact that so many people in my industrialized culture are overfed, overmedicated, and overstressed) my favorite passage from the book is as follows:Jan 23, 2009
This is one of the most beautiful and positive books I've ever read. Anybody and everybody should read it - I think there is something in it that will appeal to each person on this planet.Aug 28, 2012
The son of Baskin-Robins, wrote a book on health. Yeah, he exposes the dangers of unhealthy eating, and lifestyles. A great read and motivator.Sep 20, 2008
I fully understand that putting this one out there officially qualifies me as OLD, but this book was fascinating and illuminating, throwing the paradigm of old = lame right out the window. I picked it up at my parents house, thumbed through it and couldn't put it down. Christina, this was the book we talked about at dinner. Worth a read!Aug 21, 2008
fascinating and so simple...really loved the notion that it is as much our cultural paradigm that aging is a bad thing, as anything we eat or do that affects how we age.Dec 16, 2010
Really enjoyed this book. Lots of solid references in the back also. How to be healthy at 100? Eat fresh vegetables, sing and dance, and generally be positive. :)Apr 28, 2017
I think everyone should read this book to learn more about the aging process and how the quality of life as you age is completely in your own hands.Dec 01, 2014
I would change the title. It is not a book about how to live to be 100, but how to live well as long as you are alive. How we treat one another is just as important to health and longevity as diet and exercise. There is no fountain of youth, but we can make a difference in ourselves and our world by making wise choices. I wish everyone would read this book. John Robbins' compassionate heart shines through every page. He introduces us to societies that have known how to live well, and as a result I would change the title.

He doesn't recommend copying them, but rather learning from their secrets. Fascinating and eye opening book. ...moreFeb 24, 2009
Eye opener book for me about nutrition and health. After reading the book, I changed my diet.Feb 01, 2008
It was especially interesting to me to learn about some little-known cultures and their simple lifestyles. Robbins can be a little wordy at times, and a tad too "New Agey" for me, but he comes from the heart, and the information is valuable.Jan 07, 2017
It's unfortunate that this book won't be widely read by the young. Within it is a blueprint for how to live life fully. There is no neglecting food, exercise or love and community in the approach offered. I suppose some will criticize it as idealistic and naive but they are missing the point. Amazing bookMar 14, 2018
The only reason this didn't get my five-star rating is because I knew most of the information due to my health coach emphasis, training, and study. Still, it is an excellent compilation, certainly as a review or for someone knew to eating healthy. Robbins takes an objective view and reports on research as well as story-telling from the people he met as he wrote this book. One chapter I enjoyed was toward the end of the book. It was on consuming epa and dha.

What can be learned from three different societies who maintained a plant based diet, daily movement/exercise, and not giving to much thought to amassing wealth? How to live past 100. I really enjoyed reading this book because America is clearly operating a faulty system. We have allowed corporations and big pharma rule our lives just so we can make money at jobs we hate to afford stuff we don't need. Get outside, play with your kids, focus on what you shove into your mouth.Sep 20, 2018
Great book if you're interested in the kinds of things that contribute to longevity. And not just longevity, but qualities of life that make life worth living that long. It did seem to go a bit lengthy in parts, which is the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five, but hey, if I'm living to 100, I have a little more time to read the lengthy parts. Definitely worth reading.May 28, 2019
Curious about what is behind the success of the world's longest living peoples? This book (and the "Blue Zones" books) will work to satisfy your curiosity and may even lead you to a healthier, and longer, life. It was a quick but informative and engaging read and I feel it was time well spent.Mar 02, 2018
Better than expected - though it does venerate the various groups somewhat, it's also up front about the biases of some of the researchers and how many numbers are exaggerated. The rest of the information is more of the usual, but there were still useful details.Jul 27, 2019
An interesting read that will make you seriously rethink your current eating habits.May 25, 2017
Loved this book. Proof that we can live great lives, healthy lives, for many many years.Feb 03, 2018
Definitely some good stuff here, but overly long and quite repetitive.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
