In the last five years the science of getting older has come of age. Game-changing breakthroughs are redefining the way we think about ageing. More than ever, there is hope that we can overcome our greatest enemy – the process of biological decline.

How to Stay Young goes on a remarkable journey into the human body and mind. Angela Rippon and Dr Chris van Tulleken investigate the latest experiments and research that could help put the brakes on ageing.

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. In Ecuador we meet a 17-year-old who looks like a child to discover how scientists hope he may hold the key to preventing the diseases of ageing.

8:30pm Tuesday July 5 on ABC.
