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
“One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
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.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. 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 Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. 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.

freetimeboy2023-08-19中间的内容太硬导致有一点不是特别好读。总的来说,作者提出了医疗3.0的概念,提倡在楼上丢鸡蛋的人丢之前制止,即提前干预。描述了当今慢性病四骑士(心脏病、癌症、神经退化疾病、B型糖尿病及相关代谢失常)的主要成因和关键指标。最后提出了除了一些推荐药物干预外,论述了睡眠、饮食、锻炼、心理健康的重要性和建议。

麒麟2024-01-24比较合乎逻辑的结论是,我们需要更早地介入,尽快阻断“骑士”疾病的发展进程一或者更好的结果是,彻底阻止它们的发展。在过去的20年里,全球吸烟率持续下降,这在一定程度上要归功于广泛实施的禁烟令,然而我们对晚期肺癌的任何一种治疗方法都比不上通过降低吸烟率来降低死亡率那样有效。相较于医学上的那些晚期干预措施,这种简单的预防措施(不吸烟)反而挽救了更多的生命。可是,主流医学仍然坚持要等到诊断结果出来以后再进行干预。

麒麟2024-01-24在1900年,人类的预期寿命为50岁以下,大多数人都可能因“急性”原因死去,如事故、受伤和各种传染病。但从那时起,慢性死亡便逐渐取代了急性死亡。大多数读这本书的人预计都会在七八十岁离世,而且几乎都是死于“慢性”原因。假设你不是那种会从事极端冒险行为的人,比如极限跳伞、摩托车比赛或者边发短信边开车,那么你极有可能死于我称之为“四骑士”(four horsemen)O的慢性衰老疾病中的一种:心脏病、癌症、神经退行性疾病,或2型糖尿病及相关代谢功能障碍((metabolic dysfunction)。要想长寿一活得更久,活得更好,我们必须了解并正视这些导致慢性死亡的原因。

Trouvaille2024-05-31当我想到自杀时,我常常会想起-个叫肯鲍德温(Ken Baldwin)的人,他于1985年从金门大桥(Golden Gate Bridge)上跳了下去,那时他只有28岁。与99%从那座桥上跳下来的人不同,他活了下来。他后来告诉作家泰德弗兰德(Tad Friend)其坠落时的心中所想:“我立刻意识到,我生命中所有我认为无法挽回的事情,都是完全可以挽回的,除了刚刚跳下去的那一瞬间。”
