A scientific insight into the biology of aging, lifespan, and vitality.
Why do some people age faster than others? Can one influence their biological age — and if yes, then how? Why We Age delves into the biology of aging, explores the underlying factors influencing one’s lifespan, and presents the latest findings in longevity research. It is a book that makes this complex and rapidly advancing field accessible for everyone.
Aging is a biological process that sweeps through each and every cell and leaves its mark on them. Why We Age examines how genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and the environment around us influence how our bodies age and presents ways of measuring one’s true biological age more accurately than a birthday calendar.
Why We Age is also a statement celebrating and defending science. We’re living in a time when there is more information than ever before readily available to us, yet separating researched information from misconceptions can be challenging. Even aging research is not safe from exaggerated claims and snake oil salesmen. Why We Age cuts through the misleading hype and erroneous information and heroes the laborious and meticulous work of researchers around the globe.
