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.
