This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Why do we grow old? Can aging be slowed, stopped, or even reversed? Is age merely a number, and could aging itself be considered a disease? Can we invest in our health the way we invest in a savings account—and why is it so important to learn about aging while we are still young?
In this book, Professor Yuval Heled introduces listeners to the science of longevity and challenges the widely accepted belief that aging and its consequences are inevitable. Drawing on the latest scientific and medical research, he presents evidence suggesting that in the foreseeable future we may be able to significantly extend both our healthspan and lifespan.
Alongside cutting-edge research, the book offers accessible and practical tools for improving health, enhancing physical resilience, and promoting long-term well-being. It explores the biological mechanisms of aging, current and emerging strategies for life extension, and even the possibility of achieving unprecedented longevity.
Written for a broad audience, the book is equally relevant for curious listeners who want to better understand their bodies and live healthier lives, as well as for professionals in medicine, rehabilitation, health promotion, and physical training seeking to expand their knowledge and therapeutic approaches.
Professor Yuval Heled, a world-renowned expert in integrative and exercise physiology and former Chief Physiologist of the IDF Medical Corps, takes listeners on a compelling journey into the present and future of human aging. This is his second book.
