Blurb: What affects longevity? What is a good diet? Should we take aspirin? Weight control with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and social interaction in old age extends life span. No medication is shown to extend longevity, but statins in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metformin in metabolic syndrome may prolong life. Vitamins and antioxidants in pill form seem to increase CVD and cancer as excess may stimulate cells. Our diet has adequate vitamin D and experts advise against over treatment. Fish oil and vitamin D supplements do not prevent CVD and cancer. Indiscriminate cancer screening leads to over diagnosis. Gene-editing and immunotherapy against cancer is a major advancement. Hormonal replacement in elderly shows minimal benefit, but has significant side effects. All proceeds go directly to the American Red Cross. The author, Dr. Kaup Shetty, has written this book based on forty years as a Geriatrician, Internist and Endocrinologist, in addition to teaching and medical research.
