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.

"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?
