Live Younger For Longer With A Longevity Diet
01 Introduction
The holiday season is upon us. That means spending time with friends and family, traveling to new and exciting places, and of course, eating plenty of delicious food.
In this issue of Inside Longevity, we explore food and diet and how you can ensure this upcoming holiday season aligns with your longevity goals.
02 There are countless diets. Which one should you choose?
The problem with most diets is that they neither look at the big picture nor the long-term effects. Based on insights into nutrition and aging, we created the NOVOS Longevity Diet to slow down aging and provide the best possible health outcomes for its followers. As an added plus, you can expect weight loss, too!
The NOVOS Longevity Diet consists of seven simple rules.
03 The best fasting method for longevity, health, and weight loss
What we eat, when we eat, and how much we eat all impact how long we live. Eating less slows the rate of aging, extends lifespan, and reduces the risk of many aging-related diseases.
Eating less can be accomplished in two ways: through caloric restriction or fasting. Caloric restriction means eating less all the time – which can be difficult for many people – whereas fasting means eating less, sometimes, which most people find to be more achievable. Fasting also confers additional benefits, like rebooting your stem cells and immune system. Learn about the different forms of fasting and their benefits, and determine what is best for you to integrate into your longevity routine.
