Rappahannock’s own Joan Hazzan, also known as Dr. Joan Vemikos, will talk about her new book, “The G-Connection: Harness Gravity and Reverse Aging,” on Friday, Jan. 14 at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library as part of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and ^he Community (RAAC) Second Friday at the Library Series.
After 30 years of pioneering research with NASA, Vemikos, with Robin Hosie, has written the first book to focus on the fundamental importance of gravity in maintaining youthful vigor.
With a foreword written by astronaut and Sen. John Glenn, Vemikos’ book applies lessons learned from the experiences of U.S. astronauts and Soviet/Russian cosmonauts in space to ordinary people here on earth. Highly practical, the “What You Can Do About It” section in each chapter is a comprehensive guide that will help young people, baby boomers, th6 elderly, and professionals make smart lifestyle choices.
Vemikos has always been fascinated by the gravity in which we live. Gravity shapes the way we look, feel and function. Astronauts returning from a mission in near-zero gravity show startling changes we usually associate with old age.
Do astronauts grow old in space? Certainly not. After all, they recover. But old people on earth do not-or so we have been led to believe. The GConnection challenges this widely
