Counterclockwise. What is aging and how to fight it

Scientists have been searching for a cure for aging for more than a hundred years, but so far, it seems, they have found nothing. Does that mean it does not exist? Or perhaps they are just looking in the wrong places? In her book, biologist and science journalist Polina Loseva acts as an advocate for modern aging science and discusses what gerontologists are currently working on and how to correctly interpret the results they have obtained. Who is to blame for our aging? What can protect us from aging: telomerase or antioxidants, hormones or diets? Biologists have not yet reached a consensus on these questions, and the reader, if they decide to move from contemplation to action, will have to make their own choice. This book will serve as a guide to modern theories of aging not only for biologists but also for anyone interested in how to help their body fight the unequal battle against time.
