Description
Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have To
Dr David Sinclair presents a bold new theory of ageing, arguing that ageing is a disease that can be cured. He reveals a root cause of ageing that lies in an ancient genetic survival circuit, which has enabled earth's early microcosms to survive and evolve into more advanced organisms. However, this same survival circuit is the reason we age, as genetic damage accumulates over our lifespans from UV rays, environmental toxins, and unhealthy diets.
Dr Sinclair explains that genes aren't our destiny, and that we have more control over them than we've been taught to believe. We can't change our DNA, but we can harness the power of the epigenome to realise the true potential of our genes. This book offers surprising, scientifically-proven methods that can help readers live younger, longer.
