Aging: A Disease to Be Slowed Down or Reversed? | David Sinclair | Lifespan: Why We Age

Book: Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don’t Have To Aging is treatable, akin to a disease, according to Dr. David Sinclair's book "Lifespan." Aging, he argues, results from the loss of information in cells rather than damage accumulation. Key elements like NAD+, sirtuins, and mTOR could activate a survival circuit, potentially reversing aging. Practical interventions such as fasting and exercise are discussed, challenging common myths about extending lifespan. While the book refrains from prescribing actions, it inspires readers to rethink aging, emphasizing individual responsibility. Despite some criticism for exaggerated claims, "Lifespan" is recommended for those interested in the science behind aging.
