Young Forever

Many people assume that illness, physical frailty, and steady decline are simply what the years bring. Dr. Mark Hyman argues that this assumption is mistaken. Current science treats aging as a condition that can be addressed, and by working on its underlying causes, readers may be able to lengthen their healthy years and head off or reverse conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

Hyman asks readers to rethink their biology, their health, and what growing older really involves. He examines the biological hallmarks of aging, the forces that drive them, and the consequences they carry. He then describes how to counter these processes through diet, everyday lifestyle choices, and newer longevity strategies.

The book offers dozens of research-based approaches and practical suggestions aimed at building and maintaining good health over a lifetime.
