About this deal

In the past, if you were reading books about longevity and age reversal, you were probably in the dusty sci-fi section of your local library or at the movies.

That means that if you smoke, have a lot of stress or eat a lot of processed foods — you are changing your genes and that can negatively affect your kids and your kids’ kids. So if we take a laboratory mouse and feed it 30-40% less than it would like to eat, it will live 20-30% longer and stay healthy longer in just about every way that we can measure.The Longevity Book will offer an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the female body ages – and what we can all do to age better. And that’s a problem when older people get sick and need help, because about 66 percent of caregivers are female, says Diaz/Bark. W]hile you can't see the effects of ageing on your inner organs, you can most definitely see the byproducts of time on your largest and only external organ: your skin. Learning and new experiences help the brain to grow, develop and to prevent Alzheimer's and dementia.

But I also wanted to point out that current medical studies tend to focus on aging only by studying animals that are abysmal failures at it. Nutrition and fitness and rest work together to promote cellular growth, repair, and energy production, allowing all the body's systems to function optimally. He convinced people in the 1920s and 1930s that the way to preserve their sexual vigour was by transplanting goat testicles into men and goat ovaries into women.

Understanding the implications of recent longevity advancements such as CRISPR and mRNA, on the other hand, is another doozy.So she interviewed doctors, scientists, nutritionists and a host of other experts and then shared what she'd learned with young women everywhere in a comprehensive volume hailed as 'smart', 'brimming with science' and 'the real deal'. Not an anti-aging beauty book- not just a celebrity preaching nutrition and exercise ( although that is in it- it has to be to age well and she doesn't preach), but a book that makes me glad to be almost 55. Cameron Diaz wrote The Body Book to help educate young women about how their bodies function, empowering them to make better-informed choices about their health and encouraging them to look beyond the latest health trends to understand their bodies at the cellular level.

The ability to colour our hair or smooth our skin doesn't change the fact that our body is ageing every single day. As he points out in this book, animal species like tortoises already do this, and perhaps humans can too.He talks about our DNA as being digital information, because there are these four letters that you have.

From Cameron Diaz, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Body Book, comes a fresh, personal and authoritative examination of the art and science of growing older and a road map for abundant health and resilience as we age.

I have a pretty well-known wager with a demographer about when we will have the first person live to 150. As with all these embargoed books I read them before they go on sale and before they’re able to be checked out by library patrons. W]hile women are being prescribed more medication than ever before, not all of those medications are properly tested for use by women. A good example that I like is that a mouse, which we can study in the laboratory, will live three or four months on average in the wild, and the longest-lived ones ever probably live a year, maybe a few months longer than a year.
