The Longevity Diet by Dr. Valter Longo is based on 25 years of research into aging and nutrition. It explains how what you eat can help you live longer and healthier. The plan combines a simple daily pescatarian diet (mostly plant-based, with fish, healthy fats, and low protein/sugar) with a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) done 3–4 times a year. The FMD gives the benefits of fasting—like regeneration, stem cell activation, and disease protection—without extreme hunger or fatigue. Benefits include: Weight loss and reduced belly fat Longer, healthier lifespan Protection against diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer Prevention of muscle and bone loss with age
