Publisher's summary

Getting older doesn’t have to mean experiencing more pain and illness, becoming less mobile, or developing disease. Renowned cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy Dr. James DiNicolantonio partners with leading physician and bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung to deliver The Longevity Solution, a groundbreaking new book that unlocks the secrets of healthy aging. Using evidence drawn from their years of medical research and clinical practice, Dr. DiNicolantonio and Dr. Fung lay out five simple, easy-to-follow steps you can take now for a longer, fuller, healthier life.

The Longevity Solution explains how to incorporate time-honored wellness traditions while doing away with fads, unnecessary supplements, and unsubstantiated wellness practices. It investigates the dietary habits and other practices of the healthiest, longest-lived humans on the planet, who live in regions known as Blue Zones, as a model for what and how we should eat. It teaches the benefits of intermittent fasting and calorie restriction, which have been shown to slow the aging process, while consuming proper ratios of protein and healthy fats. It also looks at how red wine, tea, and coffee play key roles in optimizing health and why salt is an ally, not an enemy, in the longevity equation.

In this comprehensive guide, Dr. DiNicolantonio and Dr. Fung unveil cutting-edge science in an approachable format that is easy-to-understand and can be put into practice immediately. Simple dietary changes can help you break the cycle of carbohydrate dependence, kick your metabolism into high gear, and jump-start your longevity genes. The Longevity Solution puts healthy aging back in your control!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Useful information

I found this an interesting read and was able to add to my increasing knowledge in this area. I value the way it was set out and the information provided.

Very interesting new information

The part about red wine and plant food was new for me. It is also very good that the book talks about balanced food and moderate consumption. Precise advise what to eat and what not. I like and make beer, but there are no health benefits in beer, only in wine. So I will try now to merge both of them and ferment some red grapes in the beer. I hope I can bring it to a good tasting healthy liquid!

Good but.....

Way too many acronyms for an audio book and way, way to many plugs for products

Priceless information!

Love to learn about improving my quality of life and this was a great lesson!

Easy and Informative

This book is a must for living longer and understanding what causes aging and how to minimise damage.

Great book but the narrator needed someone to help with some pronunciations

As expected from these two docs, this is an info-packed book that is very useful. Some of the words must have been unfamiliar to the narrator, though, because there are multiple mistakes in pronunciation. He’s a good narrator, but a good editor would have helped a lot.

great read, would recommend

I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their health. pulled some useful info I will implement.

Great source

Yes, as other reviewers mentioned, the narrator mispronounces some words. However, it didn’t stop me from gathering valuable information. The book is dense with concepts, and cites scientific research. I watched an interview with Dr.Fung, and got inspired to see what he writes about. A lot of ideas here make sense, as opposed to some wild extremes out there. Also, where others aired grievances about advertisements, I appreciate being pointed to the brands and places to shop for products, instead of spending hours looking for them myself. So, yes, I find it useful, and will be listening to it several times, to solidify my understanding.

Would be great if this information was widespread.

Useful info for most people . Most people will get info out of this book that is unfortunately lacking in society.

good ideas for health and good protein limits .

technical at times but understandable. narration was clearly done. insight on protein limits was interesting and plant vs animal protein was clearly and fairly discussed.
