Biological Youth reveals how a total lifestyle intervention can boost the total fitness of our bodies and can reduce the physiological stresses that contribute to our biological aging. It presents the recovery lifestyle which combines training like a hunter with eating like a gatherer to target all five parts of total fitness. > Metabolic fitness boosts our strength and endurance while reducing fat, fatigue, heart disease and cancer. > Circadian fitness restores our nightly rhythm of DNA repair and toxin removal from our brain while we sleep. > Microbial fitness nurtures our ecosystem of beneficial gut microbes and suppresses disease-causing microbes. > Immune fitness reduces our chronic inflammation and accelerates our recovery from infection and injury. > Mental fitness reduces anxiety, depression, and memory loss. Biological Youth reveals how our loss of any of the five parts of fitness cascades into a loss of total fitness and a gradual loss of our youthfulness. Most importantly, it describes the cellular mechanism in our tissues by which lifestyle influences the balance of youth-promoting stem cells and age-promoting senescent cells. Total Recovery is a new strategy for health that combines SCIENCE, IMAGINATION, and HUMOR to help us resist the unnatural and unhealthy Western lifestyle and embrace the recovery lifestyle. > Total Recovery asks us to imagine how product advertisements promote unhealthy behaviors in a manner similar to how zombie viruses promote zombie behaviors. Viral marketing passes zombie viruses to us and we pass them on to each other. > Total Recovery asks us to imagine how we must neutralize the zombie viruses in our minds before we can tackle our unhealthy zombie behaviors and nurture our healthy recovery behaviors. With the combined power of science, imagination, and humor, our health and lifestyle choices become manageable. Welcome to the revolution of Total Recovery and Biological Youth. > 250 footnotes with web links (clickable in Kindle ed.) > 50 original charts and illustrations (color in Kindle ed., gray-shade in paperback) > Kindle ed. discount after purchase of paperback ed.
