Overview
Este livro pontua, através de uma linguagem simples, as descobertas da pesquisa espacial que podem ajudar a compreender como nós devemos constantemente usar a gravidade terrestre para melhorar a qualidade de nossas vidas.
Fazendo do uso da gravidade um hábito diário, você estará contribuindo para viver uma vida mais saudável, mais independente e mais ativa aqui mesmo, em pleno solo terrestre.
Ninguém pode parar a passagem do tempo. Mas alguns conseguem se manter independentes, energéticos e cheios de vida. Enxergam o mundo e agem como se fossem quinze anos mais jovens.
Adotando um estilo de vida que otimiza o uso da gravidade como uma aliada, você pode inverter ou atrasar as mudanças que vêm com o que se convencionou chamar de envelhecimento.

About the Author
Prof. Thais Russomano graduated in medicine from the Federal University of Pelotas, Brazil (1985) and specialised in internal and emergency medicine. She has a Master’s Degree in Aerospace Medicine - Wright State University, USA (1991), and PhD in Space Physiology - King's College London (1998). She worked for 3 years as a Space Scientist at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine, German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Cologne, Germany, before founding the Microgravity Centre, PUCRS, a unique international reference centre in the study of human space physiology and space biomedical engineering, which she coordinated for 18 years. Thais has been linked to King's College London in different academic positions since her PhD in 1994, having acted at CHAPS, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, King’s College London, as the Deputy Course Director/ Senior Lecturer of the Space Physiology & Health MSc degree course (2009-2020). In addition, she is a visiting professor at Aalto University, Finland, in Space & Design, and Deggendorf Institute of Technology, European Campus, Germany, contributing to the MSc in Medical Informatics, UFCSPA in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in the areas of Human Physiology in Extreme Environments & Digital Health, and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Lisbon in Space Physiology & Aviation Medicine (CEMA). Thais is also a Director of two space-related private companies, InnovaSpace Ltd (UK) and the International Space Medicine Consortium Inc. (USA).
She has more than 30 years of experience teaching and researching in the fields of Aerospace Medicine, Space Physiology, Aerospace Biomedicine, Aerospace Biomedical Engineering and TeleHealth, including participation in 200+ scientific events with 300+ scientific papers presented. She has also authored books, book chapters and numerous papers in her areas of expertise.
Thais is an Elected Academician of the International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine (IAASM), and the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), for which she serves on the Board of Trustees. She is also a member of international associations and societies in space, aviation and telehealth (ISfTeH), a Board Member of companies, and further holds patents related to Space Life Sciences and Aerospace Biomedical Engineering. Thais is currently acting as a voluntary Mentor for Space4Women, an initiative of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).
Dr Joan Vernikos was one of the first five scientists recruited by NASA in 1964 for her expertise in Stress and went on to become NASA’s Director of Life Science in 1993, a position she held for more than 10 years.
A pharmacologist from the University of London, she is a pioneer in how living in the microgravity of space adversely affects the health of astronauts. Her ground simulation research led her to propose the Gravity Deprivation Syndrome: This posits that Gravity is the common link in the relationship between the microgravity of space, bed rest simulation of the effects of microgravity, the hazards of extended, uninterrupted, occupational sitting and the reduced use of gravity on Earth as we age.
Joan is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics and has received numerous awards for her work on the relationship of space research in understanding ageing, including the Boynton of the Bioastronautics Society, the Strughold of the Aerospace Medical Association, a Lifetime Award of Women in Aerospace and the prestigious International Astronautical Federation’s Allan D. Emil award. In October 2018 at the 69th International Astronautical Congress in Bremen, Dr Vernikos was inducted into the International Astronautical Federation Hall of Fame, in recognition of her substantial contribution to the progress of space science, technology, and space benefits to mankind.
Joan is a public speaker on the benefits to mankind gained from space research and technology. She designed a proposed on-board human-powered centrifuge for interplanetary travel and introduced the concept of gravity on Earth as a therapeutic agent. Joan has published over 200 scientific papers and a series of books to present practical and effective solutions for maintaining good health throughout life and healthy ageing.
