Why We Age: Solving the Puzzle of Aging (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781674558936)

Do you want to understand the aging process, discover unusual but scientifically proven longevity tips and find the key to healthy aging, then you need to read 'Why We Age'. In 'Why We Age, Dr Judy Ford, explains the biology of healthy aging in an all-inclusive way for the first time. Dr Judy Ford is a geneticist/cell biologist who herself has contributed significant research in the field of aging.

You are unlikely to find these longevity tips anywhere else for two reasons. The first is that some of the longevity tips reflect information that is only published in published scientific papers but have not been written in everyday language before. The second is that Dr Judy has worked out some of the longevity tips from online World Data but the tips have not been published anywhere else.

In Why We Age, Judy puts together many of the currently disparate theories and explains how the various 'theories of ageing' need to be considered together rather than as separate and/or competing ideas. Because of her unusual cross-disciplinary knowledge, Dr Ford is able to explain how all the pieces of the complex puzzle fit together to define the aging process and help us achieve healthy aging. These pieces of the puzzle include: Telomeres, Senescence, Fat Metabolism, Mitochondria and Inflammation. They are all part of this one encompassing explanation of the aging process that is easy to understand.

Despite the need to use some scientific and medical terminology to explain the aging process, this is book can be easily understood by any intelligent person. It is particularly suitable for anyone with some knowledge of the science of health, and doctors, dentists, nurses, scientists have all found it extremely interesting and recommended it to their friends.

In the second part of her book, Dr Ford uses the World Data on the relative rates of diseases in different countries to make important recommendations on age-related disease prevention, to enhance healthy aging and longevity. One of these relates to the intake of the relatively unknown Vitamin K2 in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Completely unrelated but extremely important findings describe the contributions that defective plumbing, pollution and excessive use of air-conditioning contribute to other common 'age-related' diseases.

The thirs part of the book makes a number of recommendations relating to other aspects of a healthy lifestyle such as Dental Health, Sleep, Mental and Physical Exercise and the critical importance of reducing stress to healthy aging and preventing age-related decline.

There is useful information for everyone in this book who is interested in healthy aging and longevity but especially for those who want documented evidence on which to base their personal decisions!
