Item description from the seller
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
• A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that
challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new
approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health,
from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert
“One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
Wouldn’t
you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for
longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver
innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise
and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.
For
all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress
against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease,
cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it
intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the
expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must
replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy
for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
This
is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and
tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our
physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to
tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
• Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
• That
you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed
liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of
aging.
• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.”
• Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.
• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
Aging
and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set
in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for
your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade
better than the one before.
