We live in a strange world. A world in which people are mortal. A world in which most life-forms age and die. There are a few exceptions: organisms that do not age, that are immortal, or that can even become younger. But for the large majority of everything that walks, crawls, swims, or flies on this earth, mortality is an integral part of existence. That is strange, because from a biological viewpoint there is no reason why aging and mortality should exist. For centuries biologists have addressed the question of why something as strange as aging exists. As we shall see, aging is not simply the result of what is generally thought to be “inevitable wear and tear,” nor is aging meant to combat “overpopulation,” whereby “older animals must make room for younger animals.”
In this book we will discuss why some organisms age very rapidly and other organisms can grow hundreds or thousands of years old or not age at all. In the second part of the book we will talk about what happens in our body that makes us age. Once we have a better understanding of why we age, we will also be better able to figure out how we can slow down the aging process. That is what the third part of this book is about. We will see that certain foods, interventions, and substances can slow down the rate at which we age. The problem in the West is that we are consuming too many foods that accelerate aging and cause obesity as well. It is not a coincidence that overweight people are at risk of all kinds of aging-related diseases, such as heart attack, dementia, and diabetes. We will also see that the epidemic of obesity is not simply a matter of “too many calories” and “too little exercise,” as is often claimed
