About this listen
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 audiobook outlines, with the scientifically engineered fasting-mimicking diet, or FMD; the FMD, done just three to four 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 life-span with simple everyday changes,
- Prevent age-related muscle and bone loss, and
- 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 four times a year, just five 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.

A complex scientific subject well explained.
This was a very interesting book that explained the subject of longevity in a straightforward manner and was not bogged down in overly complex jargon. Combine this reading with the many online lectures and guest appearances by Dr Luongo and you'll have a comprehensive grasp of the subject.

lots of science, slow narration
There is so much valuable information in this book - I wish everyone would read it! It is incredible information. The narration is incredibly slow and I increased the speed to 1.5 which meant it was read at a more normal speed.

Excelent book and practical knowledge
This book presents the result o so much work and amazing depth.
This is one of the most important books about nutrition I've ever read.
Another one that I advice reading is How Not to Die.
With those two books you have enough to be the healthiest you can be through nutrition.

The often repeated “permission from your doctor” is off-putting
I have heard Dr Longo speak in interviews and was compelled to learn more about his research. People who read books like this are generally the type to take control of their own health and/or have nothing left to lose. The constant “only with the permission from your doctor” repeated in many sections of the book is therefore very offputting for what could be a very empowering strategy for many diseases. The mere mention of any nutritional, fasting or lifestyle approach with any of my doctors is very quickly dismissed or ridiculed even with supporting research. I imagine this is the case for most people or they wouldn’t be looking at books like this. So, I have rated this book 4 stars because the science and research is fantastic but the only permission that is needed for any medical intervention with me is my own. Advice, research, new ideas and partnership, however, is absolutely welcome!

An actual nutrition book
Of all the diet and nutrition books out there, this is one of the best. I've followed Dr. Longo's research for awhile so when I heard that he had written a book based on his and his peer's research I was excited. I wasn't disappointed. This book explores the science behind his and other longevity researcher's claims and also has practical advice and protocols for everyone. I have already purchased this book for several family members who have MS and they are starting to feel a difference after adopting the outlined protocol for MS patients.

A must!
Extremely interesting. I read many other articles on the subject and they all seem to have the same conclusion. The BlueZone by National Geographic is one of them.
It should be taught at the earliest stage of education and reminded throughout High School and College.
Thank you for a great work!
