From body to dust

Everyone fears the unavoidable – old age, decline and death. But what actually happens to our bodies when we get old? And what can we do to slow down the process?

Forty years have passed since the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) ran a series on the body where Trond-Viggo Torgersen told children a bit too much about the subject while their parents blushed. His Kroppen for voksne (The Body for Adults) appeared in the autumn of 2021 and proved a big success. It confirmed Torgersen’s ability to communicate and our need for health information.
