Wouldn't you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual
for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver
innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing
exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental
health.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much
progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart
disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often,
it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at
the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we
must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive
strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than
waiting.
This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and
tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our
physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is less to
tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about
long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an
individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
* Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you
enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
* That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet
underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic
diseases of aging.
* Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"—and how to begin
training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
* Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional
biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating
pattern.
* Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring
emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is
not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path
for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade
better than the one before.

Multiple sclerosis affects an estimated 2.5 million people
worldwide, 400,000 in the US, and 85,000 in the UK. MS is different
from other neurological disorders in that there is some scientific
evidence that diet may improve the condition, and add to quality of
life. This book looks at how a low-fat diet and the popular Best
Bet Diet may improve the health of those with MS. There is also an
anti-Candida diet for the extensive numbers of people who suffer
both MS and Candida. These diets may also help those with
autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, Hughes
syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis or type 1 diabetes. Topics covered
include: detailed advice on foods to avoid, and why; which foods
you should eat; ensuring you obtain enough nutrients; food
intolerance; food supplements; practical advice on overcoming
problems such as fatigue and disability while preparing food; and,
extensive recipe selection and sample menus.

We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being
inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count
calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge.
Why? In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung
sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our
hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that
overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity
and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers
robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the
only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we
eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five
basic steps - a set of life-long eating habits that will improve
your health and control your insulin levels - Dr Fung explains how
to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin
resistance and reach a healthy weight - for good.
