¿Qué sabemos actualmente sobre el envejecimiento y qué podemos hacer para envejecer mejor?

La humanidad lleva intentando vencer al paso del tiempo desde siempre. La mitología y la ficción están llenos de personajes que buscan la manera de no envejecer y convertirse en inmortales. Pero no ha sido hasta el siglo XXI cuando la ciencia ha avanzado lo suficiente para que este sueño se convierta en realidad. Por fin entendemos por qué con la edad se nos degrada el cuerpo y, gracias a esto, hemos empezado a desarrollar herramientas que actúan sobre los mecanismos biológicos del envejecimiento. ¿Hemos descubierto el secreto de la vida eterna? ¿Es posible mantenerse joven para siempre?
 
En este libro, los doctores Manel Esteller y Salvador Macip repasan cuanto se sabe en la actualidad sobre el proceso de envejecer y nos indican qué podemos hacer para frenarlo, desde las intervenciones que ya se ha demostrado que tienen efecto, hasta los tratamientos que en un futuro, quizá no tan lejano, podrían hacernos inmortales.
