Summary:
"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."--From publisher.
