Breaking The Aging Code: The Secret To Optimal Health And Longevity

by Miryam Ehrlich Williamson, Miryam Williamson (Draft Writer)

DNA is "life's blueprint". Our genetic inheritance for health and life expectancy is encoded in each of our DNA. Throughout life, DNA reproduces and replaces itself continually. In optimal conditions, DNA copies itself over and over again, making perfect reproductions. This is very close to the state that people are in when they are young and healthy. As people age, however, their DNA is damaged continually by the environment, diet, and physical and emotional stress. The DNA begins to reproduce poorly and ultimately stops reproducing completely The result is disease and aging.Contrary to current thinking, new research suggests that the body is not irreversibly programmed by a finite number of cell divisions to age and die, but rather is built for longevity and self-repair. Moreover, we can regulate which aging genes to "switch off" and which to "switch on," thereby altering how our genes are expressed and influencing how we age, the quality of our health, and how long we live.In BREAKING THE AGING CODE, you will learn not only about these scientific breakthroughs, but also about applying this information to your life, to grow old, rather than age, and live life better and longer than you could have ever imagined.

Awesome book if you are interested in healthy aging rather than preventable illnesses and conditions from poor eating and bad habits. We cant prevent everything but we can do much better. Highly recommend.

Not the book I expected. Lots of science and detailed science....very limited pragmatic suggestions that I can implement.
