When Mail journalist Sandra Parsons suffered a serious back injury in her mid-40s, she knew things had to change. Years of smoking, drinking, and late-night takeaways at her desk had taken their toll; she was in pain, and she felt... well, old.

 

In her quest to heal her body, Sandra delved into the science of ageing and was astonished by what she found – that ageing is now considered a treatable ‘disease’, and by addressing its root causes, we can turn back the clock and dramatically extend our health span.

 

Distilling all the latest medical science and with the help of the world’s leading longevity experts, she presents a 3-step plan to embed new ways of eating, moving and, crucially, resting more deeply. The plan is designed to put you on the path to long-term term change, but you will feel the effects in a matter of weeks. With quizzes at each step to assess your health and clever food swaps, this book introduces key changes to your daily routine that will repair years of damage and transform the way you feel.

 

Now 61, Sandra discovered in a recent test that she has a biological age of20. That’s right – 61 on the outside, 20 on the inside. This book shows how she did it – and how you can too.
