THE LONGEVITY CODE The New Science of Aging

Narrator Pete Cross charms listeners with a combination of self-confidence and humble respect for his audience. His reactions to the startling information in this audiobook bring narrator and listeners together in a state of wonder about the potential to live much longer than is currently expected. The author says that evolution did not program us to live much past our 20s because our ancestors died at a young age from predators and infections. But here he shows how we can delay death from common causes like heart disease and cancer, and avoid dementia and the other ailments that make late life so intolerable. It's inspiring evidence that lifestyle changes plus the latest medical advances (stem cells, designer vaccines, genetic tinkering) will allow us to enjoy life well past 100.
