Lifespan: Why We Age–And Why We Don’t Have to | 寿命：可不可以不变老
《寿命：我们为何会衰老——以及我们为何可以不必衰老》
国际知名的哈佛医学院科学家、《时代》杂志最具影响力人物之一的大卫·安德鲁·辛克莱博士推出了他的新作《寿命：我们为何会衰老——以及我们为何可以不必衰老》。衰老似乎是一个无可避免的事实。可是假如我们长期被灌输的关于衰老的理念是错误的呢？假如我们能够选择生命的长度呢？辛克莱博士在这本突破性的作品中揭示了一个关于我们衰老原因的大胆的全新理论：“衰老是一种疾病，而这种疾病是可治愈的。”这部令人大开眼界的前沿之作，揭示了许多来自辛克莱博士在哈佛医学院实验室的不可思议的研究突破——我们如何能够延缓、甚至逆转衰老。其中的关键在于激活新近发现的活力基因，一种古老基因的生存回路——这既是我们衰老的起因，也是逆转的关键。最近在基因重组方面的实验证明：在不久的将来，我们也许不仅可以感觉变得更年轻，而且实际上也的确变得年轻了。辛克莱博士在本书中向读者介绍了科学发现的过程，揭示了新型技术和简单生活方式的转变——比如间歇性禁食、低温暴露、合适强度的锻炼，以及少吃肉——这些措施都可以帮助我们活得更年轻、更健康、更长久。大卫·安德鲁·辛克莱，澳大利亚生物学家，主要研究如何有效地令人类生命延长和治疗老年疾病。自1999年起，他成为哈佛医学院遗传系的终身教授。辛克莱曾被《时代》杂志提名为“全世界最具影响力百人之一”以及“健康领域最具影响力50人”。马修·拉普兰特，犹他州立大学新闻写作副教授，曾担任美国海军情报专家和中东战地记者，现居盐湖城。
A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people.
It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”
This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs–many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard–that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger.
Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes–such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat–that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.
