There is great interest out there in what people can do to extend their longevity. I’ve been writing books about longevity for fourteen years and I realized there was one topic I had not really covered in detail. That topic is what foods and supplements we can take that will help make us healthy enough to lengthen our lives.

Improving individual longevity is not just about foods and supplements. There are a lot of factors that all affect longevity so I have a chapter here that talks about my work “The 10 Principles of Personal Longevity” which covers those issues in more detail. In addition, there are some specific physical issues like telomeres, inflammation, and oxidative stress which also affect chronic diseases and therefore longevity and these are discussed in detail.

I also think it is pertinent to see what long-lived communities eat so I’ve copied some of the key data and conclusions from my book on four long-lived communities around the world to see what types of foods they eat. Some recipes for their traditional foods are also included.

Foods and supplements that have been known from historical times and today are discussed in detail for you to learn what the wisdom of the ages and science know about the correct foods and supplements to eat.

After reading this book you will have new ideas about the food, diets, and supplements you can eat to help you live a much longer and healthier life.
