书籍简介

几十年来，专家们一直认为，我们受基因的摆布，基因的自然损害——随着我们年龄的增长不可避免地发生的那种——使我们生病和变老。

但是，如果你认为你对衰老的了解都是错误的呢？如果衰老是一种疾病，而且这种疾病是可以治疗的呢？

在《寿命》一书中，世界上较重要的衰老和遗传学专家之一揭示了一个突破性的新理论，它将永远改变我们对为什么会衰老以及我们能做些什么的思考方式。衰老并不是不可改变的；我们对它的控制能力远远超过我们的认识。这部令人大开眼界和具有煽动性的作品将我们带到研究的前线，这些研究正在推动我们所认为的科学局限性的界限，揭示了令人难以置信的突破--许多来自大卫-辛克莱尔博士自己的实验室——表明我们如何能够减缓，甚至逆转遗传时钟。关键是激活新发现的活力基因——一个古老的生存回路的后代，它既是衰老的原因，也是逆转衰老的关键。辛克莱尔博士分享了新兴的技术和简单的生活方式的改变——如间歇性禁食、低温暴露和适当强度的锻炼——这些都已被证明有助于导致长寿。

《寿命》为掌握我们自己的健康命运提供了一个路线图，并为人类能够活到100岁的未来提供了一个大胆的新愿景。

For decades, experts have believed that we are at the mercy of our genes and that natural damage to our genes - the kind that inevitably happens as we get older - makes us become sick and grow old.

But what if everything you think you know about aging is wrong? What if aging is a disease - and that disease is treatable?

In Lifespan, one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and genetics reveals a groundbreaking new theory that will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it. Aging isn’t immutable; we can have far more control over it than we realize. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the front lines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs - many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab - that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, the genetic clock. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes - the decedents of an ancient survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Dr. Sinclair shares the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes - such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercising with the right intensity - that have been shown to help lead to longer lives.

Lifespan provides a road map for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future when humankind is able to live to be 100 years young.
