Sinclair, a world-renowned Harvard Medical School doctor and one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people, readers are introduced to groundbreaking revelations about the science of ageing. This paradigm-shifting book challenges our traditional understanding of ageing and presents a revolutionary perspective: that ageing is not an unavoidable aspect of life but a disease that can be treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Sinclair delves deep into the mechanisms of ageing, unveiling a bold new theory that identifies an ancient genetic survival circuit as the root cause of the ageing process. He explains how this circuit, originally designed to halt reproduction and repair genome damage, is now the very reason we age. Over time, factors such as UV rays, environmental toxins, and poor diet accumulate genetic damage, leading to common signs of ageing including grey hair, wrinkles, joint pain, heart problems, dementia, and eventually death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on decades of pioneering research in genetics and biology, Dr. Sinclair dismantles the myth that our genetic destiny is unchangeable. While we cannot alter our DNA, we can influence the epigenome and activate what he calls \"vitality genes\". Through a series of scientifically-proven lifestyle changes and interventions, Dr. Sinclair provides a detailed roadmap to turn back the genetic clock. Readers are guided on how intermittent fasting, reducing animal protein intake, limiting sugar, eschewing x-rays, engaging in optimal exercise regimens, and even experimenting with cold therapy can extend lifespan and enhance healthspan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to practical advice, \u003cem\u003eLifespan\u003c\/em\u003e also explores the potential future of human longevity. Dr. Sinclair paints a compelling picture of a world where living well into the hundreds is not just a possibility, but a reality. He discusses the societal, ethical, and medical implications of such a future and what will need to change when humans routinely live to 120 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Sinclair's captivating insights and visionary ideas challenge the preconceived limits of human potential. \u003cem\u003eLifespan\u003c\/em\u003e is not just a book about genetics and biology; it represents a fundamental shift in how we think about ageing, health, and the attainable boundaries of our lives. Destined to be the definitive work on longevity and genetic science of its decade, this book will inspire readers to reimagine what is possible and take charge of their own ageing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45686150496492,"sku":"9780008292355","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780008292355.jpg?v=1725462834"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/dr-david-a-sinclair.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
