Their smiling faces with too-white teeth and dead eyes shout too-good-to-be-true promises from garish book covers. The Longevity Diet: Discover the New Science Behind Stem Cell Activation and Regeneration to Slow Aging, Fight Disease, and Optimize Weight by Valter Longo: Another diet book, and recommended as well by David Sinclair, but older than Clement’s The Switch and with possibly troubling recommendations related to Longo’s non-profit fasting supplement company, ProLon. She discusses the social and psychological impact of growing older as well as biological statistics and biological scientific facts and explanations on why and how we age and what can go wrong and what to watch out for. She gives great tips all along the way to stay healthy. To me, the ability to be present, to be confident, to be fully, unapologetically yourself is one of the gifts of ageing. (p 203) I don't want you to live in fear of ageing, or beat yourself up about the fact that your body is doing something totally natural. I want to reframe the way that we, as women, talk about ageing. I want to offer a perspective that is healthier and more scientifically accurate than the fear and shame-based conversations that permeates our culture." (p. 5, Introduction)

Personally bought the book and his way of thinking regarding the new focus of the medical sector aimed at prevention at early age is great. Also his centenarian decathlon concept really appeals to me. Drawing a line from where I am now and where I should be now for the outcomes I want when I am 80 leads to excellent SMART goals and interventions to set me up for the best me in the future. P]eople who [are] socially isolated [have] an elevated risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, infections, cognitive degeneration, and inflammation, while loneliness [is] linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and a poor immune response to stress." (p. 201 - 202) The two major risk factors for Alzheimer's disease are age and gender: at age sixty-five and older, women have almost double the risk of Alzheimer's as men. Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's disease are women." (p. 189)There are two main classifications of naturally occurring stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells (a.k.a. somatic stem cells). Pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo about “spiritual healing” and “natural remedies” and “ancient secrets” peddled by scammy TV doctors abounds on the shelves of bookstores the world-over. Adult stem cells live in the tissues of our organs which, dormant, can be activated to heal and repair your body.

However, this book was not as good as The Body Book. I felt that it got a little repetitive. The main theme (that rest, exercise, and eating right will make you live longer) was nothing I hadn't heard before. How many neural connections we have as an adult and how strong they depend on how much learning and how many new experiences and conditions we have been exposed to over the course of our lives." (p. 184)What Howard—unlike most doctors, Howard insists you call him “Howard”, which turns out to be important—did was ask me a simple question: What are you optimizing for? And I didn’t have a good answer to that simple question. As a runner, skier, and biker, and someone who fancied himself fit and yet was perpetually injured, I think I thought I was optimizing to run, ski, and bike. Parietal: essential for skin sensations; injury can result in confusion about space, and inability to recognise things by touch and a general confusion about simple tasks, like getting dressed. This book shows all the possible degenerative diseases (osteoporosis), cancers (breast cancer), etc that women are specifically at risk for and at what age.

Written by one of the people who literally discovered telomerase The enzyme that allows cells to replenish telomeres. (and won a Nobel Prize for it) this book is an essential one for a good understanding of the science and biology behind aging. A positive attitude in general increased your life expectancy, especially if you're positive about the ageing process.
The book begins by delving into the biology of aging, exploring how the aging processes affect our bodies and examining the cellular mechanisms that contribute to aging. Dr. Barzilai outlines the roles of genetics and epigenetics in aging, discussing how some individuals are predisposed to live exceptionally long lives due to specific genetic factors. He introduces the concept of longevity genes, which are genetic variations that help protect against age-related diseases and promote overall health.
