Bonus Years: An Individual Plan for Extending Youth Based on the Latest Scientific Discoveries

Do people die of old age? No! It’s always about some illness, about an organ or system failing. That’s why many scientists consider aging a kind of “disease.” And if it’s a disease, it can be treated successfully—and even prevented. The book explains the latest scientific discoveries in studying the causes of aging and the opportunities that medical professionals and gerontologists already have at their disposal today. Is our body on a “shelf life” schedule? Can humanity get a chance at “eternal life”? How do geroprotectors really work—and do they work at all? What modern technologies are already being introduced into biology and medicine, and what does the global scientific community think about them? This book is a concentrated account of what is currently proven to increase human lifespan, as well as what aging is and how to defeat it from a scientific perspective. Written within evidence-based medicine: every phrase is carefully validated and cites scientific research verified by a large team of scientists. You are reading the result of seven years of work by a scientific group of doctors and researchers.
