You, Your Epigenome and Ageing

Adding another candle to your birthday cake is one way of measuring your age, but far more important to you is the age that affects how you feel, and that's your biological age. It is the health of your 37 trillion cells that make everything work that counts. It's your biological age that dictates whether you will have the ability to play a game of softball with your grandchildren or only be able to watch them run the bases. You can be chronologically fifty and feel like you're biologically eighty or by birthday-candle-count eighty and feel like you're biologically fifty. Which one is largely up to you. Aging is a disease. Arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disorders and all the others that can make life increasingly more challenging are just ageing's many aliases. Staying young, by learning more about how to, is the key to longevity and good health and the topic of this book.
