About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

A book that describes what is required for us, in order to improve our Diabetes and other like diseases, I read a book from 1917, as a result of fear, that instructed how to manage your diabetes type 2 then…then compared to the advice I got, from the ADA in Canada, I started to investigate and this is one of several books I have read about the PROPER WAY to live and manage your life after diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. In less than 3 months, I went from an A1C of 10.5 to 4.8 …. No medication oral or injected. We need to take care of our health and use the PhD information available, as our food industry has vested interest in not allowing the people to know the best way to be healthy. I do not blame them for trying to be that way, but thank to books like this, we can find more wisdom available to the regular people like me. Almost two years and my A1C and daily blood checks are below 4.9 …. (Or 88 in the USA scale)… Jose Limas 

Boost, not the one who draged you down. Finish the triangle. I don't want him. Are you sure travel the right way. He drags me down too. None of 40 sent? Ignored me? Body? Everything is perfect. He did, dad to me for us. In the closet waiting. This way for you. You come and get yours. Not his.
