How the latest scientific discoveries can help you not only to live longer but stay young into old age.

There has been an explosion of knowledge in the new field of geroscience, which is the study of the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms that drive the ageing process. Recent transformative research has been translated into clinical medicine, aiming to prevent, treat, or even reverse ageing in humans through an integrated onslaught on its hallmarks. The average person now has within their control a stronger grasp of ageing better and prolonging their healthspan while living a longer life. Ageless, written with the layman in mind, lays down the latest scientific evidence in man's search for healthy longevity.

Following decades of dedication as a medical practitioner, Dr Michael Khor Kok Seng shares his perspective on living agelessly by embracing and optimising what he calls the five pillars of longevity: exercise, diet, sleep, happiness, and having a purpose in life. Apart from this, he details how these pillars can be adopted to address the mortal maladies of the modern man—obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, and dementia.

Through a combination of personal anecdotes and thorough research, this book aims to bridge the gap between the bench and bedside, furthering Dr Michael Khor Kok Seng's legacy of service to the community. It seeks to educate the reader by promoting healthy living and informed choices.
