A health expert, Jane Brody tries to be good to her body, to fuel it right and move it regularly, so that it will continue to be good to her, but though she follows a regular regimen, she is no fanatic. Moderation and variety, not deprivation and denial, are her watchwords. To keep her body from “rusting out,” she insists on daily physical activity, alternating between walking, cycling, swimming, ice skating, tennis, hiking, gardening and cross-country skiing. The result is a woman who is more robust, energetic, youthful, and trim in her sixties than she was in her teens.
Brody received her BS degree in biochemistry from the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University and a Masters degree in science writing from the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism. After two years as a general assignment reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune, she joined The New York Times as a full-time specialist in medicine and biology. In 1976 she became The Times’ Personal Health columnist. Her widely read and quoted column appears every Tuesday in The Times’ Science section and in more than 100 other newspapers around the country.
