What if getting older didn’t mean getting ill?
That's the question that opens the new book Delay Ageing: Healthy To 100. By Senior Associate of the Royal Society of Medicine and best-selling author Colin Rose.
Delay Ageing will launch on October 19th 2020.
Delay Ageing reveals the optimistic conclusions from the latest research on ageing, summed up by the world's leading science journal Nature:
“We are now entering an exciting era for research on ageing. This era holds unprecedented promise for increasing human health-span: preventing, delaying or—in some cases—reversing many of the causes of ageing based on new scientific discoveries” -
Nature Journal, 2019
Delay Ageing provides a fascinating new insight into the ageing process, and practical steps towards achieving health well into our eighties, nineties and beyond.
In this, his 10th book, Rose proves how, contrary to popular belief, ageing is not caused by the passing of time: rather, it’s caused by damage to DNA, cells and a gradual weakening of the immune system. And that this damage can be slowed, and even reversed, in order to substantially increase the years we stay physically and mentally well.
The book presents compelling evidence that we are moving into a new era of extended health-span, challenging the long-held belief that suffering and illness (less energy, cardiovascular disease, brain disorders, cancer, aching joints and increasing frailty) are an inherent part of ageing.
Based on research that is newly emerging from world-leading universities and medical schools - which include Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Berkeley - Delay Ageing explains:
The 10 fundamental causes of ageing and how each one can be countered
How to turn on genes that repair damaged DNA.
How immune systems can be strengthened to fight disease – whatever your age
How to protect your brain as you get older
How to lower both blood pressure and blood sugar levels – key threats to longevity
*How your microbiome affects ageing – and how to ensure a healthy gut
How to disconnect biological from chronological ageing.
Available to purchase from Amazon from 19th October 2020.
