The Longevity Diet: Slow Aging, Fight Disease, Optimize Weight

I have been an avid follower of Professor Valter Longos’s work and studies since first seeing a BBC Documentary in 2012 - Eat, Fast & Live Longer. This man is nothing short of a genius. Having gone through my own health problems: Bulimia, then a massive benign tumour in my head which lead me to an operation and then into intensive radiation treatment I found his studies fascinating, insightful & inspiring to me personally & I wanted to know & learn more. Over the past 2 decades I have either been, bulimic, vegan, vegetarian, or now for the last 15 years pescatarian at which time I had no idea that such a name even existed. When I found out that Professor Longo had written a book on Longevity I couldn’t wait for it to be published in English. I have a Kindle copy and a book. His book has given me so much knowledge that I didn’t previously have and the information is easy enough to process if you take the trouble. For me, where his book stands out from many other books is that most of the information in this book is based on his own studies and research from throughout his 30 something years of study & research on Longevity. There are no gimmicks just straightforward facts on longevity & how to proceed with his longevity diet with the everyday fruits, vegetables, legumes etc. that we find in our supermarkets or farmers markets. He clearly explains why & which fruits, veg etc are better for you. How simple can it be to follow a mostly plant-based diet - but the truth be known for most of us is that we will continue to eat bad & fast food until the heart attack hits or our cholesterol is through the roof, or like so many people in the Western World we develop diabetes. He clearly explains how we can avoid or correct these problems by using his longevity diet. The book is entertaining as well as full of necessary, important information for living a longer & disease- free life. Prevention is always better than cure. I am a writer and in my own research I have read many, many articles with misinformed information, on many different subjects & I only want facts & proven studies as in this book. Lastly, 100% of all the royalties from Professor Longo’s books go back into his research, another great reason to purchase the book. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Recommended for all who wanna live healthy & comfortable

Really interesting views, did totally take a lot from it

Dr. Valter Longo's book is a true gem for those who want to really learn how to be healthy not just now but also well into the elder years. Back up with good science, you get a relatively easy step by step roadmap about what you can do with your diet and lifestyle. I found the chapters on different serious health conditions and the research (both conducted by Longo's team or other labs) very convincing. As I recently became a whole foods plant based diet follower, finding out that his recommendation matches a well thought of WFPB diet was a joy for me. As a fun note, I got so enamored with the message of this book, that I wanted my closest relatives and friends to read this book, so I gifting them the book, which Amazon took as I was perhaps buying the book to sell it! So, they limited how much they would sell me the book! It was unbelievable! I am yet to try the FMD but have partnered with my cousin (the first person I gifted the book to) and her husband to try the ProLon FMD packages. Reading this book is the best thing you can do for your health! Thank you Dr. Longo!!!
