From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting book shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls readers to consider a future where aging can be treated. For decades, experts have believed that we are at the mercy of our genes, and that natural damage to our genes—the kind that inevitably happens as we get older—makes us become sick and grow old. But what if everything you think you know about aging is wrong? What if aging is a disease—and that disease is treatable? In Lifespan, one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and genetics reveals a groundbreaking new theory that will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it. Aging isn’t immutable; we can have far more control over it than we realize. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, the genetic clock. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes—the decedents of an ancient survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Dr. Sinclair shares the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercising with the right intensity—that have been shown to help lead to longer lives. Lifespan provides a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future when humankind is able to live to be 100 years young.
##Looks like David wrote the book in a rush. It's supposed to be a book describing the theory of aging, but he spent a lot of efforts explaining how modern healthcare is changing..
评分##intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with right intensity, eating less meat “啰嗦”和“长生不老”两个词放在一起总让人想起《大话西游》里的唐僧。 整体来讲这是一本非常啰嗦的书。感觉作者没有分清科普读者和传记读者的区别,后者可能会对他研究的发现过程和整个来龙去脉,如何从某一次晚餐的愉快讨论发展到学术合作之类的等等细节很感兴趣,但是如果...

评分##啰嗦得不行,google了一下information theory of aging 的图片,然后里面搜到一个论文一个图表总结了作者吃什么补剂,lifestyle(间歇性断食,限制碳水,少吃红肉多吃素,锻炼,避免过度暴露于紫外线、X光、CT, 不抽烟,cold exposure, 维持BMI,除了补剂没有什么新意,一查作者果然有不少利益冲突。当然NMN可以通过亲身体验判断下,不过上面这个lifestypd的变量太多,同时变化就没法测NMN的功效了。 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343562143_The_information_theory_of_aging_Hacking_immortality
评分##今年中秋节后,我和孩子爸带着1岁多的孩子去养老院看望奶奶。才两年没见奶奶,就感觉奶奶老得很快,我猜想是换了环境的缘故。 进养老院前,奶奶一直是在子女家轮流住着的,那时还不显老,至少脸上看上去没那么可怕。如今将近90岁高龄,在养老院才两年的时间,衰老的速度仿佛快...
