?Y si envejecer fuera una enfermedad y fuese tratable como tal?

Un aclamado cientifico de la facultad de Medicina de Harvard y una de las personas mas influyentes segun la revista Time.

Que envejecer es inevitable es una verdad aparentemente innegable. pero, ?que pasaria si todo lo que se nos ha dicho hasta ahora sobre el envejecimiento resultase incierto?, ?que sucederia si pudieramos elegir nuestra esperanza de vida?

En este libro innovador y asombroso, el Dr. David Sinclair, autoridad mundial y lider en genetica y longevidad, revela una nueva y audaz teoria. Como el explica, el envejecimiento es una enfermedad y es una enfermedad tratable. Experimentos recientes en la reprogramacion genetica sugieren que, en un futuro cercano, no solo podremos sentirnos mas jovenes, sino serlo. Mediante estas paginas, el Dr. Sinclair nos invita al proceso de descubrimiento cientifico y revela algunas tecnologias emergentes y algunos cambios simples en el estilo de vida que nos ayudaran a sentirnos mas jovenes y a estar mas saludables por mas tiempo como el ayuno intermitente, la exposicion al frio, hacer ejercicio con la intensidad adecuada y comer menos carne.

Alarga tu esperanza de vida cambiara para siempre nuestra idea sobre por que envejecemos y que podemos hacer al respecto.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people.

It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs-many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard-that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging.

The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger. Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes-such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat-that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer.

At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.
