El mito de la vejez : De la edad cronológica a la edad biológica

In *The Myth of Old Age*, Francisco Mora dismantles widespread prejudices about aging and invites us to discover the true potential of maturity. With scientific rigor and a profoundly human approach, Mora reveals that our age is not dictated solely by the calendar, but above all by our decisions, habits, and environment. Through the latest findings in neuroscience and epigenetics, this book demonstrates that the brain can continue to develop and adapt, that genes can be rewritten, and that quality of life depends, to a large extent, on ourselves. Mora explains how factors such as diet, exercise, mental stimulation, and social interactions can modify our biological trajectory, transforming aging into a dynamic and personalized process rather than a fatalistic destiny. This book invites us to abandon the fear and stereotypes surrounding old age, presenting it as a stage of potential growth in which each individual can actively manage their vitality and quality of life, extending not only the years lived but, fundamentally, their meaning and possibilities. A hopeful work that combats ageism and invites us to reimagine human potential beyond any time limits.
