Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are mature cells that have been reprogrammed to become immature, embryonic-like cells capable of developing into specialised cells that can be used for treatment throughout the body.

Cameron Diaz wrote The Body Book to help educate young women about how their bodies function, empowering them to make better-informed choices about their health and encouraging them to look beyond the latest health trends to understand their bodies at the cellular level. She interviewed doctors, scientists, nutritionists, and a host of other experts, and shared what she’d learned—and what she wished she’d known twenty years earlier. Muscles can still get stronger as we age...Building muscle is the best way to offset one of the other losses that comes with age: bone loss." (pp. 143 - 144) To me, the ability to be present, to be confident, to be fully, unapologetically yourself is one of the gifts of ageing. (p 203)

Many doctors say that compliance is the hardest part of keeping people healthy - they can tell us to treat our bodies better or prescribe medications, but they can't make us adhere to their advice." (p. 32) Loved it :) Feels like you're sitting down with Cameron Diaz and she really cares about your well being and wants to help you. I imagine us sitting in her chic apartment overlooking New York with a glass of red wine in our hands and she's teaching me a million things about ageing. (Inspired vision from the movie The Other Woman haha).

The Longevity Book: The Biology of Resilience, the Privilege

Each time a cell divides, it must copy its genetic material with perfect precision. Accurate cell division is essential to overall health and especially our health as we age because cells the do not divide correctly can eventually mutate into cancer cells or other types of diseased cells. (p 79) The Longevity Book explores what history, biology, neuroscience, and the women’s health movement can teach us about maintaining optimal health as we transition from our thirties to midlife. From understanding how growing older impacts various bodily systems to the biological differences in the way aging effects men and women; the latest science on telomeres and slowing the rate of cognitive decline to how meditation heals us and why love, friendship, and laughter matter for health, The Longevity Book offers an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the female body ages—and what we can all do to age better. The New Rules of Aging Well: A Simple Program for Immune Resilience, Strength, and Vitality (Kindle Edition) Knowledge is power! In Longevity Simplified, Dr Luks presents simple strategies to increase your ‘healthspan’ – not just your lifespan. ‘No one wants to spend their last decade as a frail shell of the person they used to be.’ Longevity Simplified explains, in an easy-to-understand way, how to live a healthier life for longer. Dr Luks discusses the important topics we’re familiar with (but probably don’t understand as well as we should do), to empower us to make better choices to live a longer, metabolically healthier life. This book includes lots of easy-to-implement practical tips, from calculating the number of calories we need (or consume), to making each day a little bit harder, e.g., choosing chairs over an elevator, or a walking meeting. The seven simple steps to make ‘longevity simplified’, will help to improve your metabolic health right now.” Dr. Neil Meigh (May)Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers (Hardcover) This 2016 aging book by theoretical-biologist Josh Mitteldorf and co-author Dorion Sagan (son of Carl Sagan) has new relevance for life extension after the pre-publication, in May 2020, of a paper whose results seem to vindicate at least a portion of Mitteldorf’s theory of aging. I really enjoyed reading The Body Book but I feel like the focus in that novel was largely on nutrition and fitness. With this novel, as much of both of those do have a huge component on longevity in life, I found the information provided was expanded to a more holistic outlook of the whole body. The beginning was all about really accepting your age, don't be focused on being vain and how you look because it's all about how you feel and what you radiate into the universe that others find beautiful. You can't compare the beauty of a 60 year old to a 20 year old because it's not apples to apples. Everyone is beautiful in there own way and at their own age.
