Scientists have been looking for a cure for old age for hundreds of years, but they still seem to have found nothing. Does this mean that it does not exist? Or maybe they are just looking in the wrong places?
In her book, biologist and science journalist Polina Loseva acts as an advocate for modern science on aging and talks about what gerontologists are doing today and how to correctly interpret the results they have obtained. Who is to blame for our aging? What can protect us from old age: telomerase or antioxidants, hormones or diets? Biologists have not yet come to a single answer to these questions, and the reader, if he decides to move from thinking to action, will have to make his own choice.
This book will become a guide to modern theories of aging not only for biologists, but also for everyone who is interested in how to help their body fight an unequal battle with time.
