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 Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.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."--Publisher marketing.

ein Must-Read!
Was ein Werk! Zunächst schien es mir, als ob die umfangreichen (über 600!) Seiten niemals bewältigt werden können. Aber einmal angefangen, musste ich das zum Glück schnell revidieren. Selten ein so unterhaltsames Sachbuch zu dem Thema Gesundheit gelesen. Der Autor versteht es hervorragend den Leser mit einem Mix aus Studien, Hintergrundfakten und Lebenserfahrung bei der Stange zu halten.
Dabei wird auf die Unzulänglichkeiten der aktuellen Medizin eingegangen, das ist absolut wertvoll und jeder Leser wird aus den breit gestreuten Empfehlungen einiges für sich herausziehen können.
Besonders Eindruck hat bei mir das Kapitel über die seelische Gesundheit hinterlassen. Eine sehr persönliche Schilderung, die dem Thema Outlive noch einmal eine ganz andere Richtung mitgegeben hat.
Fazit: man sollte sich nicht abschrecken lassen, der Inhalt kann evtentuell lebensverändernd und -verlängernd sein. Wie immer kommt es darauf an, was man daraus macht.

Gesund alt werden
Natürlich möchte jeder möglichst lange leben und die heutige Medizin und Technik tun einiges dafür. Doch wie geht es denn den meisten Alten? Ist nicht das eigentliche Ziel, bis zum Lebensende gesund zu sein und das Leben so lange genießen zu können?
Peter Attia beschreibt in seinem wirklich dicken Buch zunächst die vier apokalyptischen Reiter: die vier großen Zivilisationskrankheiten, die heutzutage die meisten Todesopfer fordern. Er gibt anhand vieler Patientenschicksale Beispiele für Krankheitsverläufe, die aufrütteln. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit der aktuellen Medizin, die sich auf Symptome und Maßnahmenkataloge fokussiert, plädiert er für eine Medizin 3.0, die sich auf Prävention und die Förderung eines gesunden Lebensstils spezialisiert. Mit vielen wissenschaftlichen Fakten, Studien und Erfahrungen beschreibt er, was zu einem langen und gesunden Leben nötig ist. Dabei verfolgt er einen individuellen Ansatz mit der Fragestellung, zu welchen Aktivitäten man mit 90 oder 100 Jahren noch in der Lage sein möchte. Die üblichen und bekannten Ratschläge, nicht zu viel zu essen und regelmäßig Sport zu treiben, sind selbstverständlich auch enthalten. Attia weist jedoch darauf hin, dass dies für jeden etwas anders aussehen wird, aufgrund seiner persönlichen Genetik.
Trotz der fast 600 Seiten ist Outlive ein überraschend kurzweilig geschriebenes Buch, das jeder lesen sollte, der gesund alt werden möchte.
