Our culture is currently saturated with literature on staying young. The Baby Boomer generation has demonstrated an insatiable appetite for both maintaining vitality and obtaining the information to perform the job. The Truth About Aging is the first book from a credible veteran scientist to put the aging process into perspective, and honestly tell us what we can expect to do about it.

The Truth About Aging presents solid science, explains in easy-to-understand terms what aging really is, evaluates the current data and develops the new concept of Caloric Restriction mimetics, an intervention aimed at slowing aging in ways similar to traditional Caloric Restriction (but without dieting). The Truth About Aging offers a concise, compendium of what everyone needs to know about the universal experience of biological aging and how to deal with it.

"The average American's life expectancy is 77.9 years. That's a record high, but we may soon double that. And we won't be frail and senile at age 150. 'In addition to eliminating a lot of the diseases of aging, we'll maintain function, vitality, cognition and all the other things we value in terms of quality of life,' says former National Institute on Aging researcher George S. Roth, PhD, author of The Truth About Aging."
