Age Less - Secrets of Living a Longer and Healthier Life

Author(s): Greg Macpherson

Health & Nutrition

We are living longer and healthier lives than any time in history. However for all the successes, modern medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill a lot of people, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the exepnse of quality of life.


Age Less takes readers through a short history of ageing and what we now know, to where we are likley to be within the next five or ten years.  You can read and listen (by QR code) to interviews with t eh top experts on longevity from around the world.


The future sounds a bit like science fiction, but what is common knowledge today would have sounded like science fiction (or sorecery) to someone living 100 years ago.


Age Less also explains why we age, the scientific theories of ageing, and what everyone can do today to improve their chances of living a longer, healthier, disease-free life.  Individuals and society as a whole will benefit from this longevity dividend.


 

Description: We are living longer and healthier lives than at any time in history. However, for all its successes, modern medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people- heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Age Less takes readers through a short history of longevity to what we know now, to where we are likely to be within the next 5-10 years. The future sounds a bit like science fiction, but then what is common knowledge today would have sounded like science fiction (or sorcery) to someone living 100 years ago. Age Less also explains why we age, the scientific theories of ageing, and what everyone can do today to improve their chances of living a longer, healthier, disease-free life.
