The Longevity Diet
Author: Valter Longo, PhD
The Longevity Diet by Valter Longo, PhD, is a groundbreaking book that presents scientific insights into how nutrition can enhance longevity and promote health. Dr. Longo, a renowned researcher in aging and longevity, shares his knowledge on how to adopt a lifestyle that can help you live a longer, healthier life. Drawing from decades of research in the fields of biology and aging, the book emphasizes the importance of periodic fasting, plant-based diets, and other lifestyle changes for increasing lifespan and healthspan.
In this book, Dr. Longo reveals the secret behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), a diet that tricks the body into thinking it is fasting, thereby triggering cellular repair and regeneration processes. The diet focuses on low-protein intake, healthy fats, and a wide variety of plant-based foods. Additionally, The Longevity Diet explains how eating patterns and specific foods impact the biological processes of aging, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular regeneration.
