Lifespan

By David A. Sinclair, Matthew D. LaPlante

Categories: Science & Math

In this 2019 book, geneticist David Sinclair, writing with Matthew D. LaPlante, argues that aging is a disease and that the disease is treatable. Sinclair sets out his theory that we age as our cells lose epigenetic information. He describes research into molecules and lifestyle habits that may slow aging, such as fasting, exercise and exposure to cold, and considers what much longer lives could mean for medicine, society and the planet.
