For thirty-one years, Martha Stewart has published dozens of best-selling books on home and lifestyle topics for which she reigns supreme. Her newest book – which happens to be her 77th publication – is emblematic of Stewart’s stage in life and wisdom gleaned along the way. Living the Good Long Life is about living your healthiest life, both physically and mentally, during your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. The practical guide is broken down into themed sections so readers can design their own healthy-living plan guided by recipes, charts and even tips from doctors and wellness experts. The book also provides helpful information on how to take care of oneself while care giving for others. As 71-year-old Stewart puts it, “We…must do our part to redefine the implications of aging and what it means to be, act and feel old.”
She suggests starting with her core 10 golden rules for successful aging:
1. Eat well
2. Maintain a healthy weight
3. Stay physically active
4. Get quality sleep
5. Wear sunscreen
6. Collaborate with a good primary-care doctor regularly
7. Find your passion
8. Connect with others
9. Stop complaining- change what you can, and accept what you cannot
10. Stay curious
