Breaking the Aging Code: Your Personal Blueprint for Optimal Health and Longevity

by Vincent C. Giampapa

In this groundbreaking book, Vincent Giampapa, M.D., a visionary plastic surgeon and anti-aging pioneer, presents a radical new theory on how we age. Contrary to current thinking, lastest aging 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 amazing scientific breakthroughs, but also about applying this information to your life. From the intimate level of the cell outward to environmental toxins, Dr. Giampapa describes the key components responsible for the breakdown of, and damge to DNA. He also explains how you can use diet, nutraceuticals, exercise, and mind-body techniques to control these harmful processes and to optimze a healthy state of DNA.

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.
