Targeted at the general reader, the goal of this book is to show readers how to live a healthy life free from the debilitating effects of ageing, helping them to stay mentally alert and physically active, and making sure they get the most out of all of their years. It reveals practical steps to slow the ageing process and stay healthy - in short, how to stay younger for longer. With research showing that obesity, nutrition and lifestyle illnesses can hamper our body's response to Covid-19, such advice has become even more crucial in reducing Covid-19 risk factors.

The key is to aim for optimal health. However, foucsing on one factor alone will not get us there. Our sleep, our mood, what we eat, our detoxification system and our hormones are just some of the factors that interact in amazing ways to make us who we are; they are also at the very heart of the ageing process.

This book shows how these different strands combine in ways that can be positive or negative, and explains why this interaction depends far more on the lifestyle we choose than on the genes we inherit. In that way it gives the reader a unique and comprehensive understanding of their body and tells them how, with this knowledge, they can optimise their health.

The topics range from nutrition, toxins, men's health and women's health to understanding why our skin, brain and liver age - and how to undo the damage and stave off ageing. But the book's main focus underlying all of this is hormones: the chemicals that tell different parts of our body what to do. Our hormone levels vary throughout our life, but if they are supported correctly, they can keep us youthful and vital into our final years.

Finding health then is not about 'seven ways to detox' or 'the five best vitamins'. The body is far more complex than that and, in an approach aimed specifically at the layperson, Younger for Longer traces the exciting path of how the body works to help the reader create the best person they can be for the rest of their life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr Duncan Carmichael is a medical doctor with twenty-five years of experience in the profession. He is a regular speaker at conferences on aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine in his home country and abroad, and has written numerous articles on healthy ageing.

He qualified in South Africa, then trained further in Europe where he studied nutrition, hormone balancing and aesthetic medicine.

Frustrated with the medical world's focus on treating illness rather than on promoting health, his passion has long been health medicine. He founded an runs the Institute of Healthy Aging in Cape Town, South Africa, and another in Dorset in the United Kingdom.

Younger for Longer is the culmination of his twenty-five-year quest, and is Dr Carmichael's first book. His wide range of training combined with his clinical expertise makes him uniquely well qualified to write this book and share what he has learned abot longevity and health.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

From the moment we are born, ageing is an inevitable part of life. And yet most people fear ageing and its effects on the body and mind.

But what if we could make changes now that would slow the negative effects of ageing, keeping us active and happy? What if we could approach old age knowing we had given ourselves the best chance to be free from illness? And what if we could stay mentally and physically healthy until the end?

The good news is that we can.

In Younger for Longer, noted healthy ageing specialist Dr Duncan Carmichael has compiled two decades of knowledge in an accessible yet authoritative book that explains:

- Why our lifestyle choices are such a key part of healthy ageing for men and women;
- How it is that some foods we thought were healthy are anything but;
- What effects stress has on our body;
- How our hormones - which are at the centre of the ageing process - fluctuate through our lives, and how we can manage those changes to our advantage;
- And much more besides, including how to combat ageing in our organs such as the liver, the skin and the brain.

Your body is far more than the sum of its component parts. Younger for Longer outlines them, shows how they interact and then explains what actions to take - and why doing so will help you achieve your best possible life.

There is a better way to age. This book will show you how.
