Amazon:
The
internationally renowned, clinically tested, revolutionary diet program to lose
weight, fight disease, and live a longer, healthier life.
Can what you eat determine how long, and how well, you live? The clinically
proven answer is yes, and The Longevity Diet is easier to
follow than you'd think. The culmination of 25 years of research on aging,
nutrition, and disease across the globe, this unique program lays out a simple
solution to living to a healthy old age through nutrition. The key is
combining the healthy everyday eating plan the book outlines, with the
scientifically engineered fasting-mimicking diet, or FMD; the FMD, done just
3-4 times a year, does away with the misery and starvation most of us
experience while fasting, allowing you to reap all the beneficial health
effects of a restrictive diet, while avoiding negative stressors, like low
energy and sleeplessness. Valter Longo, director of the Longevity Institute at
USC and the Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM in Milan, designed the FMD
after making a series of remarkable discoveries in mice, then in humans,
indicating that specific diets can activate stem cells and promote regeneration
and rejuvenation in multiple organs to significantly reduce risk for diabetes,
cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. Longo’s simple pescatarian daily eating
plan and the periodic fasting-mimicking techniques can both yield impressive
results. Low in proteins and sugars and rich in healthy fats and plant-based
foods, The Longevity Diet is proven to help you:
- Lose weight and reduce abdominal fat
- Extend your healthy lifespan with simple everyday changes
- Prevent age-related muscle and bone loss
- Build your resistance to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and cancer
Longo’s healthy, life span-extending program is based on an easy-to-adopt
pescatarian plan along with the fasting-mimicking diet no more than 4 times a
year, just 5 days at a time. Including 30 easy recipes for an everyday diet
based on Longo's five pillars of longevity, The Longevity Diet is
the key to living a longer, healthier, more fulfilled life.
