Those are the words of Dr. David A. Sinclair, in his book, Lifespan: Why We Age?and Why We Don't Have To

Through his extensive research, Dr. Sinclair believes that we can slow down and even reverse aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it.

It's not even just about feeling younger, we can actually become younger.
