'No-one explains cutting edge science and technology more clearly than Lara' Lorraine Kelly | 'Brilliantly written ... separates the nonsense from the evidence' Russell Foster | 'Extraordinarily helpful' Damian HughesOn average we spend 20-25% of our lives in poor health but what if we could change that? What if we could stop cancer in its tracks, lose weight at will and even reverse the signs of ageing? With breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, disease prevention and decoding our genetics, it might all be possible sooner than you think.In Hacking Humanity, technology journalist Lara Lewington takes us to the cutting edge of scientific research to demystify how new innovations are transforming our healthcare for the better. Drawing us into the science behind the world s healthiest people, from the Blue Zones to Silicon Valley, while experimenting with the new technology already available, she examines the real challenges ahead and how we can overcome them. This holds the power to significantly increase the amount of time we spend living in good health and may boost our lifespans in the process too.
