About this deal

Overall, health care for women is moving in the right direction, and let’s hope it just keeps getting more specialized and better as the years go on. The local townspeople raved about what a wonderful doctor he was, even though he didn’t really have a medical degree. So go learn a new language, go travel, try axe throwing lol keep that brain actively creating new neurons and neurotransmitters and synapses. The book reports on–and I’ve reported elsewhere on–how maintaining social connections and friendships and other relationships as we head into our sunset years accounts for having better health and happiness.

Albeit the book nearly turned into a biology text book, it is good to revise some old concept and add some newer ones to our knowledge bank. What’s pretty surprising to me is that I’ve actually enjoyed two non-fiction books by a celebrity author too — Cameron Diaz.I’d say that once a week in my local newspaper, there’s a half-page advertisement on some crazy stuff that’s supposed to keep you young and healthy forever.

Healthy foods, like vegetables, fruits and whole grains, are full of antioxidants, and antioxidants actually help the body to fight oxidation in your cells, especially in your brain. From how growing older impacts various bodily systems to the biological differences in the way ageing effects men and women; the latest science on telomeres and slowing the rate of cognitive decline to how meditation heals us and why love, friendship and laughter matter for health. Diaz argues that rather than fear aging and refuse to acknowledge it, we are all much better off if we embrace it and learn to age as healthfully as possible. Weiner covers that discovery, but he focuses a lot on personalities, and the personality that he finds most intriguing is Aubrey de Grey.

Just as we build stronger muscles by challenging our bodies in ways that make them respond and grow, we can build stronger brains by challenging our intellect and helping our brains grow new connections. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. That’s something that none of the other books really do—trying to think of mortality in the larger human context. Luks, a highly acclaimed board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine, this easy-to-read guide debunks common myths and provides actionable strategies to help you achieve your longevity goals, regardless of your age.

Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.

If you have that many cells, 100,000 times as many cells as humans do, and you don’t get cancer in a year—each cell potentially could turn into a cancer—you must have some very, very good mechanisms for preventing cancer. So one of the reasons that people are long-lived for a mammal of their size is because they have a bigger brain. What if we could grow old without the seemingly inevitable drawbacks of aging, like frailty and disease? The book also offers some great lifestyle hacks you can start incorporating to improve your chances of living to 100.

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Aging is an e-book that provides a comprehensive overview of the basic molecular and cellular processes that underlie aging across multiple organisms. I imagine us sitting in her chic apartment overlooking New York with a glass of red wine in our hands and she's teaching me a million things about ageing. Human life expectancy is longer than it has ever been; we are among the first generations to lay claim to our forties as an extension of our thirties instead of a preamble to our seventies. This book challenges the assertion that we should try to live as long as possible, and forces you to consider how you can best live your life to minimize environmental harm. We know from being avid consumers of media that certain things are “good for us,” but we may not fully understand why.Cellular senescence, autophagy, telomere attrition, and the often-quoted “Hallmarks of Aging” giving preventative healthcare new light were probably not topics you learned much about in school. The book also goes beyond longevity science, tackling important subjects such as the philosophical, political, and ethical quandaries that may arise as people live longer.
