The new book The Immortality Edge: Realize the Secrets of Your Telomeres for a Longer, Healthier Life is a unique longevity regimen based on Nobel Prize-winning research. The book was written by Dr. Michael Fossel, Greta Blackburn, and Dr. Dave Woynarowski.
The Immortality Edge explains how telomeres play a role in protecting your chromosomes from critical damage. When telomeres shorten, this disrupts vital cellular function and causes the onset of aging and various diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's -- a progression that may not be inevitable after all.
