Invecchiare bene Vivere meglio

It is with great pleasure that I write this introductory note to the book by my colleague and friend Dr. Fernando Alemanno entitled “Invecchiare Bene, Vivere Meglio”. Already author of the book “A Cosa Serve la Biochimica” (Verduci Editore), also published in English as “Biochemistry for Anesthesiologists and Intensivists” (Springer Verlag), he has drawn upon his professional knowledge, acquired through a lifetime of study and work, to address with methodological rigor and clarity of exposition a subject that is undoubtedly complex; thus successfully combining two didactic qualities that are not always found together.

With simple and straightforward language, accessible even to those without biological knowledge, the Author reviews the foundations and mechanisms that enable and regulate human life, indicating the causes of aging and deterioration and the possible remedies. It is a book that I recommend to everyone, as the principles suggested allow, if properly applied, one to live well and age better.
