BBC One - How to Stay Young, Series 1, Episode 1

How science could enable people to overcome the obstacles of getting old.

Angela Rippon and Dr Chris van Tulleken investigate how much of the way we age is down to genetics and how much of it is down to the way we live our lives.

In this new two-part series, Angela Rippon and Dr Chris van Tulleken travel the world in search of the latest science that could help us all stay young and healthy for longer. They investigate the best ways to help both our bodies and brains age better. 

Up first is the body, and Angela travels to Germany to join a groundbreaking study which reveals the exercise that holds off ageing the most. Chris visits America to find out about the unexpected diet that can add years to our lives. And in Ecuador we meet a seventeen-year-old who looks like a child to discover how scientists hope he may hold the key to preventing the diseases of ageing.
