Timeless: Nature's Formula for Health and Longevity
Unlocking the secrets of positive aging.
Few prejudices in Western society are more powerful than those concerning aging. Until recently, we have assumed that the story of aging is one of loss and decline. But there’s an entirely different truth. Yes, you can teach an old dog—or even a sort-of-old dog—new tricks.
Is there a secret to staying young? It turns out that there are many, and they all begin with nurturing our existing relationships to foster brain health, keeping us happier and healthier.
As readers of this book will learn, wisdom, enhanced social relationships, greater adaptation and flexibility (mental, if not physical!)—all these things can be attained as we grow older. Filled with both practical and thought-provoking suggestions, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to age in style.

O lectură plăcută, explicită, chiar dacă nu vine cu noutăţi absolute pe care să nu le fi întâlnit în alte cărți de wellbeing.

I was hoping for something different when I read the synopsis. This for provided great info on who lives longest, but was more a collection of scientific information mixed with tales with little morals. I would suggest reading for information, but probably not a how to live longer self help.

Interesting book I'm enjoying it. Very heavy on brain science. It's very focused on social relationships for long term health and survival, specifically being a grandparent.

Many studies have found that restricted caloric intake has a positive effect on the brain and our ability to learn.
The antioxidants found in berries and some other foods have been shown to support neural health. Improved learning, memory, balance, strength, stamina, and coordination all correlate with antioxidant intake.
Higher levels of folic acid, which results in a better memory and greater life satisfaction, while working against symptoms of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
Aerobic exercise pumps more oxygen to the brain which gives active adults a better blood supply and they experience fewer of the small strokes that are so common later in life.
