Редактирование: The Longevity Code (раздел)

== Assessment ==

The following commentary is taken from an online review<ref>[https://dw2blog.com/2018/05/03/recommended-the-longevity-code/ Recommended: The Longevity Code]</ref> by [[David Wood]]

<blockquote>
I found ''The Longevity Code'' to address a number of issues in ways that were particularly compelling and engaging:

# Persuasive advice on how to modify diet and lifestyle, now, in order to increase your likelihood to remain healthy long enough to benefit from forthcoming rejuvenation therapies (therapies which Verburgh lists as “Step 4” of a four-stage “longevity staircase”)
# A compelling analysis of different “theories of aging”, in Chapter 1 of his book, including the implications of the notably different lifespans of various animals that seem on first sight to have similar biology
# A down-to-earth matter-of-fact analysis, in Chapter 4 of his book, on the desirability of living longer lives.

One “allowable weakness” of the book is that the author repeats himself on occasion – especially when it comes to making recommendations on diet and food supplements. I say this is “allowable” because his messages ''deserve repetition'', in a world where there is an abundance of ''apparent'' expert dietary advice that is, alas, confusing, contradictory, and often compromised (due to the influence of vested interests – as Verburgh documents).
