Nanobots to the Rescue of your Health but ...

Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman M.D. teamed up to write one of the most fascinating books I've read in some time, Fantastic Voyage, Live Long Enough to Live Forever.

Never have we humans lived as long as we do now. And with advances in health care, genomics and upcoming nanotechnology I could conceivably live a happy and healthy life well past my 100th birthday. (I'm 41 now) But health care and technology will only take you so far say Kurzweil and Grossman.

And I agree. While the book looks into the future it deals very much with the present. Learning about our bodies, how it works, the food we eat, how much exercise we do, the lifestyles we lead all factor in to how long we'll live. And yes it seems we are inundated with books and studies everyday that deal with this very topic. But I would argue that this one of those books that is a must read for those who want to live happy, healthy and balanced life.
