"Slow the aging process by protecting your DNA. Ten years ago, a team of scientists won the Nobel Prize for uncovering how telomeres and chromosomes affect the human aging process. Since that revolutionary discovery, they have also learned how diet, sleep patterns, stress, exercise habits, and even interpersonal relationships impact telomere health - shedding lights on just how much we can influence how quickly we age. The Telemere Diet & Cookbook offers you a critical tool for increasing your longevity: eating right to protect your telomeres. With this revolutionary plant-based (but not plant-exclusive) diet, you'll be able to cook simple and delicious recipes that will help improve the way you age." - back cover.
