We are living longer and healthier lives than at any time in history. However, for all its successes, modern medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people- heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life.
Age Less takes readers through a short history of longevity to what we know now, to where we are likely to be within the next 5–10 years.
The future sounds a bit like science fiction, but then what is common knowledge today would have sounded like science fiction (or sorcery) to someone living 100 years ago.
Age Less also explains why we age, the scientific theories of ageing, and what everyone can do today to improve their chances of living a longer, healthier, disease-free life.
