There has been explosion of knowledge in the new field of geroscience which is the study of the genetic, cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the aging process. Recent transformative research has been translated to clinical medicine, in order to prevent, treat or even reverse aging in humans through an integrated onslaught on its hallmarks. The average person now has within his control a stronger grasp of aging better and prolonging his healthspan while living a longer life. This book, written with the layman in mind, lays down the latest scientific evidence in man’s search for healthy longevity.
Following decades of dedication as a medical practitioner, Dr Michael Khor Kok Seng shares his perspective of living agelessly by embracing and optimizing what he calls the 5 pillars of longevity: exercise, diet, sleep, happiness and having a purpose in life. Apart from this, he details how these pillars can be adopted to address the mortal maladies of the modern man: obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer and dementia.
Through a combination of personal anecdotes and thorough research, this book aims to bridge the gap between the bench and bedside, to further Dr Michael Khor Kok Seng’s legacy of service to the community and to educate the reader by promoting healthy living and informed choices.
