The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer

Ogni due/tre anni una pubblicazione di grande spessore aggiunge un tassello alla via (scientifica e non miracolistica) della salute. Gli autori sono scienziati di fama riconosciuta che aggiungono al loro campo specifico di conoscenze una visione ampia e interdisciplinare. Il libro della Blackburn si inserisce in questa strada verso il benessere. L'approccio derivante dalla scoperta della funzionalità dei telomeri conferma molti suggerimenti precedenti e ne fornisce una più precisa chiave di lettura. E le autrici sono ben consce dei debiti che largamente riconoscono. E ogni lettore attento si troverà di fronte ai grandi crediti che le autrici si guadagnano sul campo. Da leggere e testare!

Das Buch beschreibt wissenschaftlich und unterhaltsam über die Forschung der Autorinnen zu Telomeren. Diese lassen sich mit Schnürsenkelkappen vergleichen, deren unsachgerechte Handhabung zu einem vorschnellen Verschleiß unserer Zellen führt. Detailliert listen sie auf, welche Mittel dabei helfen, dem Alterungsprozess vorzubeugen: der Umgang mit Stress, Ernährung, Bewegung, wie sich gewohnte Verhaltensweisen ändern lassen, die Bedeutung sozialer Kontakte....und und und. Ein spannendes Buch, das den eigenen Lebensstil noch einmal überdenken lässt.

This is a wonderful book, a must to anyone wanting to know more about aging gracefully, and especially, healthy. This book provides clear information on how to prolong your "healthspan", as defined by the authors. The big difference between this work and the myriads of health-tips best-sellers is that every advice is backed up by scientific research, all the tips, ranging from food, exercise habits, mindfulness, etc. come from experimental results. And that is a big difference, at least for me. As Prof. Kandel put it out this is "one of the most exciting health books"

This book is easy to read, filled with small daily description but on the other hand has detailed scientific explanations. At the end, the authors left you with a clear image of the tolemere. A must read, if you are interested with anti-aging, telomere, desease prevention, healthy living etc.

Loving this book so much. There are much more knowledge about telomeres have been well written in layman term. I hope many readers read this book to understand more on AGING relationship to ours' telomeres.
