Fountains of Youth
How to Live Longer & Healthier
Editors of Ronin Publishing
ife expectancy has increased from 22 years in Roman
times to about 75 years today. Many experts believe that it could be extended
to 120 years in the future. Fountains of Youth tells readers
how to use recent gerontological breakthroughs to extend their lives.
Fountains of Youth explains to the reader the constituents of life,
our knowledge of their workings, and how to use that knowledge to improve
one's health and extend one's life.
Fountains of Youth takes the reader
on a tour through the parts of the body where aging is initiated. This is
a fantastic journey into several glands and organs that signal the body to
age, through the blood stream and immune system, the Jekyll and Hyde of the
body that so easily switches from saviour to saboteur. The journey enters
the microscopic realm of the living cells and takes a germ's-eye view of
the inner workings, then descends even further into the world of atoms and
molecules, to give a simplified understanding of life's complex chemistry.
Fountains of Youth is a thorough, practical
and reader friendly overview of nutrients, pharmaceuticals, and techniques
that help you live younger and longer.
á How the aging process is reversed
á Nutrition, stress reduction and fasting
á Antioxidants and megavitamins
á Nucleic Acids and Protein regeneration
á Hormone replacement and cell therapy
á Herbs and traditional rejuvenators
á New anti-aging pharmaceuticals
"Who wants to be that old?" you might ask. Not many would care to hang around
if it means being "old" in the sense that we have come to know the word.
But what if the aging process could be slowed down and perhaps even reversed?
What if we could look and feel like thirty when you are fifty or sixty; like
forty when you are seventy of eighty; and better than most people at fifty
when you are ninety or a hundred? What if we could avoid the aches, ailments,
depression, anxiety, energy loss, and mental and physical deterioration that
happen to many people during what are supposed to be the "golden years" of
life? In short, what if you could remain throughout those one hundred and
twenty years in a state almost as vibrant as when you were young? Would you
turn down the chance?
