Peter Attia, Bill Gifford: Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity

A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert

Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.

Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
In Outlive, readers will discover:

• Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.

• That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.
• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.”

• Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.

• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.

Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

Pattermann Kinga: Intuíció a gyakorlatban szülőknek és gyerekekkel foglalkozó felnőtteknek - Hogyan használjuk intelligensen a megérzéseinket, amikor gyerekekről van szó?

As parents and adults dealing with children, we can find ourselves in situations where it is not clear what the right reaction, the right decision, the best solution would be. Maybe we don't have enough information, or on the contrary, we are bombarded with so many conflicting data, theories and advice that we get completely confused.

Which expert should we believe if their opinion differs? What should we do if several options are offered in an important area of ​​life, and there are arguments for and against each of them? If the child is determined to want something other than what we think would be good? And we could go on and on about the questions to which there is no easy and self-evident answer, but in the end, we still have to decide somehow.

In such situations, we will have a basic need for our intuition, the so-called parental instinct, which is also available to us, but it is not always easy for us to access or trust it. As Tamás Vekerdy ​​said: today awareness is also required to "activate" instinct, because the modern world makes parents unsure of their intuitions. If we are able to strengthen our own healthy, supportive inner voice, then in many situations we will instinctively feel what we must do, what will be best for our child and our family.

Through 25 creative exercises, we can map and develop our own intuition, while gaining valuable insights into when it is worth listening to our inner voice, and when it is better not to believe in ourselves.
