Jellyfish age backwards

Longevity through the eyes of science

Listen carefully and live to a healthy old age.

The elixir of youth and the source of immortality have always been sought by people and the current trend of biohacking only confirms this. We measure our vital signs, deal with sleep and diet... but can we take inspiration from the animal kingdom in our quest for a long life? What role does genetics play in longevity and how do jellyfish relate to all this?

This book by young Danish scientist Nicklas Brendborg seeks answers to the question of whether we can live to a healthy old age, highlights interesting research on longevity and explains scientific discoveries in a clear and entertaining way. You will learn why it is good to donate blood, who was the author of the first diet and how long you can go without food. The latest findings are then used to make recommendations on what we can do to live longer and healthier lives.
