Jane Brody Biography
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. Though Brody 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 at 62 than she was at 16.
Jane 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, which appears every Tuesday in the Times' Science Times section and in scores of other newspapers around the country, earned her the title of "High Priestess of Health" from Time magazine.
Brody has also written many magazine articles and lectures frequently on health issues to audiences both lay and professional. She has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows throughout the country and has received numerous awards for journalistic excellence. In addition to an honorary doctorate from Princeton University, she holds honorary doctorates from Hamline University in St. Paul, the State University of New York Health Sciences University, and the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Brody has authored ten books, including bestsellers "Jane Brody's Nutrition Book" and "Jane Brody's Good Food Book", among other works such as "Jane Brody's Good Food Gourmet", "Jane Brody's Good Seafood Book", "Jane Brody's Cold and Flu Fighter", "Jane Brody's Allergy Fighter", "The New York Times Book of Health", "The New York Times Book of Women's Health", and "The New York Times Guide to Alternative Health". Her latest book, "Jane Brody's Guide to the Great Beyond: A Practical Primer to Help You and Your Loved Ones Prepare Medically, Legally, and Emotionally for the End of Life", was published in February 2009.
Brody will be the first to tell listeners that a healthy lifestyle leads to happiness. Her speeches are informative and influential, as she reminds us all how important eating right and regular exercise can be.
