Aging is made up of a number of processes that cause deterioration of your body's cells and lead to the loss of physical, sensory, and mental capabilities. How familiar are you with the factors that increase your risk for disease and accelerate aging? In their new book, Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever, Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, M. D. Will show you how to dramatically slow down the aging processes and in many cases to stop or even reverse them. In this way, you can stay young until we have even more knowledge to become even younger.
