Summary
***SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2022***
Did you know that we can lead longer and healthier lives by making simple changes right now?
Professor Rose Anne Kenny has 35 years of experience at the forefront of ageing medicine. In Age Proof, she draws on her own pioneering research and the latest evidence to demystify why we age and shows us that 80% of our ageing biology is within our control: we can not only live longer lives but become happier and healthier deep into our later years.
Effortlessly distilling scientific theory into practical advice that we can apply to our everyday lives, Professor Kenny examines the impact that food, genetics, friendships, purpose, sex, exercise and laughter have on how our cells age. This illuminating book will show you the steps you can take to stay younger for longer—and will prove that you really are just as young as you feel.

Fascinating
My husband and I listened to this on long car journeys. What a fascinating account of the ageing process and how to keep it at bay. I would love to listen again. The only downside for me was the narration, which was too slow and ponderous (I had to increase the speed on my app) with some mispronounced words, quite surprising for an academic. I would have given it 5 stars had she got a professional narrator to do the honours for her.

Uplifting if you’re prepared to take the challenge
A book for both me and my adult children emphasising positivity and that it’s never to late to start or improve.

Excellent easy listen to a subject of importance
I enjoyed the Irish accent, very relaxing. The subject was covered well, although the detail and depth varied from chapter to chapter. As an introduction to the many aspects of aging better, based on clinical research, it is a great choice.

Simple and effective
Great evidence to back claims of how to age well. I’ve shared this with my clients.

A very useful book.
This book is really interesting and based on sound research. I found it positive, helpful and so accessible, no jargon or complex explanations.

Latest evidence based thinking
Read so well I finished this over two sittings.
In depth reasons behind the biology of why certain behaviours are helpful or unhelpful re the aging process.
Info on the Blue Zones has been my biggest takeaway - I hadn't heard of this and will now research it further.
I've been recommending this to all my mates as it is helpful info to be armed with as we approach older age.
Best to know this info now rather than later.
This is a book I'm really glad I bought.

Very enjoyable
A great read that gives interesting insight into how best to go about about transitioning into older age. If you’re lacking motivation to get off your butt and make the right changes, also listen to the short Ted talk the author talks about by Charles Eugster - a real delight!
