The Science of Longevity -How to Optimize Health & Lifespan

By Russell Eaton

The Science of Longevity-How to Optimize Health & Lifespan – Most people want to live a long life provided you can remain reasonably healthy in your old age. Being healthy throughout life is by far the greatest way to extend your life. But to simply say “be healthy if you want to extend your life” is not enough and much too vague.

Taking action to improve your health is something that anybody can do regardless of your current circumstances and state of health. It is never too late. Clearly, if you need expensive medical attention for a specific condition, then having money may help. But that apart, you don’t need to be a millionaire to be super healthy. What you need is a blueprint (a strategy if you like) that you can follow, step by step to optimize your health. This book gives you that.

In the context of good health, there are two things to always keep in mind throughout your life:

1. Being in good health is a wonderful, even exhilarating thing. Always remember this and never take your good health for granted.

When you are healthy you tend to take your good health for granted. It is only when you are not feeling so great (or when you’re ill or in pain) that you long for good health. By really appreciating the wonder of good health you will be more motivated to strive for it.

2. Achieving good health is as much about what not to do as what to do. So always remember there are two sides to the coin.

If you smoke, drink to excess, take drugs, breath in polluted air, eat junk food, etc. you are polluting your body. This makes you old before your time and this prevents good health. So being healthy is not only about following healthy lifestyles, but also about not following unhealthy lifestyles.

To summarize this point, always remember two things:

1. Appreciate good health and don’t take it for granted, and

2. Realize that achieving good health also involves not doing unhealthy things.

This book, The Science of Longevity, is entirely focused on health optimization and lifespan extension. The very latest research is evaluated, and you are given a blueprint for vastly improving your health and living longer.

Unlike other books which focus on the historical and social aspects of longevity, this book is a practical manual showing how to be fit, young and healthy into your old age. In spite of the scientific approach, it is written in plain language with no fluff or hot air.

It used to be thought that the long-lived inherited some kind of ‘longevity gene’, but modern research has shown that a specific longevity gene is a myth. The genetic aging process is likely the result of hundreds of thousands of closely intertwined genetic factors rather than a specific longevity gene. It could be that in the future, with greater computing power, it will be possible to identify these genetic differences and apply them to unborn babies. But current medical science cannot do this, nor is it possible to ‘turn on’ certain genes that promote longevity (another myth).

A question that is often asked in relation to longevity is: how can you live longer? And another question is: what is the most common cause of death in the long lived? Both these questions are linked and here is the answer.

Most deaths are caused by auto-accidents, violence, accidental poisoning, or chronic illness (e.g. smoking, alcohol and drug abuse can cause chronic illness). And guess what, the long-lived die from exactly the same causes as everybody else. But there is one important difference, when the long-lived die from chronic illness they do it 20-30 years later compared to others.

Note: chronic illness is also referred to as chronic inflammation, since they go hand in hand. Tackling chronic inflammation will combat chronic illness, improve health and extend life. For this reason, much research into longevity is focused on dealing with chronic inflammation. The strategies in this book help combat chronic inflammation. The terms ‘chronic illness’ and ‘chronic inflammation’ are interchangeable in this book.

“What do most major life-threatening illnesses have in common? It’s not genetics or lifestyle, but chronic inflammation. Fighting this silent fire within will not only help you live longer, but it will also help you live better”.

The secret to longevity is to postpone death from chronic illness by 30 years or so. And you do this by optimizing health throughout your life. The strategy then is to ‘postpone’ chronic illness, i.e. to postpone or avoid as long as possible illnesses like Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson’s, and others.

Chronic illness kills more people than all the other mortality causes put together. It is defined as a human health condition that is persistent or long-lasting and comes with time. The term ‘chronic’ is often applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months. You may not even know that you have a chronic health condition until it catches you unawares, such as an unexpected heart attack.
