Description
Time is a relentless force that affects us all, yet it's astonishing that our bodies manage to keep us alive despite the multitude of diseases and toxins that surround us. Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning explores the intricate workings of the human body, delving into the stories of science and history to uncover the secrets of our survival.
Through an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on an experimental quest to test 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes, separating fact from fad. He examines the delicate balance of our bodies, revealing the ways in which they can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions to the workings of the brain.
Partly a personal journey, partly a scientific inquiry, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best care for them, and ultimately, how we can live longer, healthier lives.
