Scientists against aging
Books on how to live more than 100 years
Science does a lot to ensure that we can live to 120 years — and see the XXII century with our own eyes. We tell you about the books of the BOMBORA publishing house from evolutionary biologists, anthropologists, bioinformatics and biologists-oncologists, which will allow everyone to use the most modern means to combat aging — and avoid wrinkles, poor memory, weakness and chronic diseases for as long as possible.
"Sapiens on a diet. The World History of weight loss, or an anthropological view of metabolism", Herman Ponzer
Anthropologists know a lot about how to... lose weight! The fact is that our body has been learning to extract and store energy for no less than 500 million years. Therefore, today, when we sweat in the gym or suffer on a diet, the body continues to burn the same 2,000-3,000 calories a day. It was this brilliant evolutionary strategy that once helped us survive, but today it brings nothing but trouble. But you can influence the metabolism!
To do this, together with anthropologist Herman Ponzer, you need to understand the latest discoveries in the field of human metabolism. The author explains in detail the history of bodily evolution and tells how the latest data on evolutionary anthropology, physiology and biology can become the basis for weight loss and health.
"The immortals. Why hydra and jellyfish live forever, and how people can learn their secret", Andrew Steele
There are two forms of immortality. One we use and another 99% of living beings is the preservation of DNA through offspring. The second is enjoyed by turtles, hydra and jellyfish. Their risk of death does not depend on how old they are. Of course, they can die from the teeth of a predator, but not from old age. We are used to treating the aging of the body as an inevitable evil, but recent scientific research proves that this is not entirely true.
Bioinformatics scientist Andrew Steele tells how modern science, with the help of turtles and axolotls, paves the way to immortality. Which mode of the day allows you not to age longer? When to wait for the appearance of the "youth pill"? Is it possible to reverse aging? You will find answers to these and other questions in this book — and learn how far science has advanced in the fight against aging.
"Bonus years. An individual plan for prolonging youth based on the latest scientific discoveries", Dmitry Veremeenko, Alexander Fedintsev, Nigina Begmurodova
Is it possible to live to the XXII century? Scientists are sure that yes! To do this, you need to slow down the rate of aging or even reverse it. Understand the latest medical data on the preservation of youth — and be able to apply them in practice. Take into account the waist circumference and the thickness of the vessel wall, blood pressure and the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone. Know how to eat right, what kinds of sports to do, how much sleep and undergo medical examination on time.
All this can be learned with the help of a book released by the Nestarenie platform team. This impressive volume will become your main tool in the fight against aging and will allow you to navigate the world of scientific discoveries related to life extension.
"The cage is a traitor. Where did cancer come from and why is it so difficult to cure it", Athena Aktipis
Speaking of aging, it is impossible not to mention oncological diseases. If we adopt the latest research in the field of evolution, it is possible to turn cancer from something that should be eliminated at all costs into a disease that can be kept under control. It's simple: it turns out that living organisms suffered from cancer 2 billion years ago. Cancer is a part of ourselves, so in order to resist it, we need to understand its evolutionary and ecological dynamics.
Oncologist Athena Aktipis will help in this: by immersing readers in the evolutionary concepts of cancer biology, she allows you to learn more about the nature and treatment of this difficult disease.
"Hitchhiking on the brain. When the whole universe is in your head", Elena Belova
Instead of controlling and manipulating your brain, it's much more effective to just make friends with it! Learn all about its structure and functions, and learn how to turn its shortcomings into advantages.
The book by bioinformatician and neurophysiologist Elena Belova will tell you why it is sometimes useful to be lazy. Why it is important to sleep a lot. How much to remember and learn well. And he will also analyze the effect of alcohol and coffee on the brain and teach you how to manage habits. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Brain will easily replace an entire library of books about neuroscience, for the first time collecting and combining in one place everything a person needs to know in order to learn to get along with their own brain.
