This is the future: owning your own health!
The last section of the last chapter states it all: how to age with the best possible health. And enjoy getting old by being able to learn new things and contribute to the very least end!
Another great subject to accompany and further study: epigenetics and DNA methylation.
Thank you for your teaching Kara!

Solid advice and interesting findings

A lot of the suggestions are things I was doing already, but I appreciated the confirmation along with learning more tips to try. I love hearing about the science proving our lifestyles determine our health. It's empowering, and this book gives some great tools.

Positive influences: relaxation, cuddling, meditation, sleep, just right foods, just right exercise, good gut bugs.

Also includes a biological age self assessment test covering nutrition, lifestyle and mental wellness.
I thought I was doing quite well until the test needed to add waistline, BMI and blood pressure to determine your subjective biological age. :)

Very interesting theory and backed up with the facts in a non clinical language everyone can understand. Nothing I didn't already know however its an easy read and contains links to other resources etc. If you are looking for inspiration and direction then there is a lot of takeaways from the book. Thank you #NetGalley for the e-book to review.
