These fascinating questions — and many others — are explored in this groundbreaking book, which delves into what is known as the science of longevity.
Professor Yuval Heled invites readers to reconsider the widely accepted notion that aging and its symptoms are an inevitable part of life. He presents scientific evidence suggesting that in the not-so-distant future, we may have tools that will allow us to significantly extend our healthspan and lifespan. At the same time, he offers basic, accessible, and relatively simple tools to enhance our health and prolong our lives.
This book offers the most current insights into aging — its underlying causes, the biological processes it involves, and both established and emerging strategies for extending human life, perhaps even approaching the possibility of indefinite longevity. It is based on the latest scientific and medical research, while also exploring innovative, "out-of-the-box" approaches to promoting health and longevity.
Designed for a wide audience, the book speaks both to curious readers seeking to better understand their bodies and enhance their well-being, and to professionals in medicine, rehabilitation, health promotion, and physical training who are looking to expand and deepen their therapeutic toolkit.
In answering the age-old question, "Until when? Only until 120?"— a reference to the traditional Jewish blessing for a long life — Professor Yuval Heled takes us, in a captivating narrative, on a comprehensive and in-depth journey into the phenomenon of physical aging and the existing and future possibilities to slow it down, prevent it, or perhaps even reverse it.
Professor Yuval Heled is a world-renowned scientist and expert in integrative physiology and exercise physiology. He formerly served as the Chief Physiologist of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Medical Corps. His scientific fields of research include the study of the limitations of human performance, survival under extreme conditions, physical training, stress adaptation, and life extension.
He is a full professor in the Faculty of Science at the Kibbutzim College of Education and teaches at various academic institutions in Israel and abroad. He is a researcher, author, and scientific advisor in the fields of health, medicine, physical training, nutrition, and healthy aging.
This is Professor Heled's second book.
