Great collection of articles

If you want to know how to increase your chances of having a long, healthy, and vibrant life, here's what science currently has to say on the subject. This is a collection of articles, mostly from Scientific American. Expect some repetition of information since the articles are from different authors and written at different times. Overall, though, most listeners will glean a lot of useful information. Here's hoping a lot of health care practitioners will discover this as well.

Great information

Really enjoyed the content and the viewpoint was also different. The short chapters were helpful and easy to listen to in the car.

Useful Discussion of Research re Ageing

Like the study of genetic pluses and minuses, studies of large populations to sort out habits that build resilience. Did not know that getting past 80s could mean pretty smooth sailing in 90s. Sorry to say some discussion got pretty technical, but overall the articles were ok for a general reader (or listener). Thankfully, there is a thought that aging, meaning encountering hallmarks of aging (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia), is going to be avoidable.

so good

Es una buena investigación acerca de la longevidad, y si esta comprovado que a mayor actividad fisica se es más longevo

better than most

wasn't bad but a little odd to have woman reading when was obvious the author was male, but overall very good.
