The Glow Code: A Cheat Sheet for Feeling, Looking, and Being Your Best at Any Age

Aging is often viewed as a negative phenomenon, especially in today’s youth-obsessed society. Canadian health and wellness journalist McIvor has written a manual that encourages women, particularly, to grow older with pride, rather than reacting to their advancing age with negative or mixed emotions. Her research included contacting various experts and scientists to create a “cheat sheet” that offers advice and tips on positive aging that she put into practice. McIvor candidly shares the results of her own experiments with this expert advice and the other knowledge she gleaned in areas like exercise, skin care and beauty, friendship, sleep, body positivity, libido, and creativity. Each chapter concludes with a cheat sheet that assists readers in putting that section into action. These cheat sheets include brief chapter synopses, suggested actions, and links to other helpful resources or apps. McIvor presents these topics in an open, witty style that renders the many issues women face as they age more relatable and uplifting.
