Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets - everyone you've ever met.
A beautifully written book about life and death: it debunks myths, explores stories of science and history, and is ultimately a rich and inspiring book.
D. Adam RutherfordWith more than 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless toxins and carcinogens in our environment, our bodies' ability to keep us alive is nothing short of miraculous. That is, of course, if our bodies themselves do not betray us, whether through cancer or autoimmune diseases.Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregonning tells the unexpected story of how, against all odds, we manage to survive. Taking a step-by-step tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on an experimental journey of his own, testing "life-extending" diets and exercises to separate fact from myth.Live Forever? explores the many ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, to heart attacks, arrhythmias, and angina, to the delicate processes of the brain, and offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, and how we can best take care of them—and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.
\--------------------------------I highly recommend this book that delves deep into health and wellness... It seems like we're all going to die eventually, but John bravely risked his body and mind to discover the secrets to staying healthy and happy as we age. A fun, interesting, and useful book.

The idea that a book about death and dying should be enjoyable to read may seem absurd, yet John Tregonning has achieved this with ingenuity, humor and elegance.
Nyssa Curry, author of “The Epigenetics Revolution.”A fun and entertaining mix of scientific facts about aging and completely unscientific self-experiments...with the understanding that although we won't live forever, there are ways to improve our chances of living a good life as long as we live.
