Today we are going to review a new book, The Longevity Solution (https://amzn.to/2XCXp22), written by Dr. James DiNicolantonio and Dr. Jason Fung. Much about this book can be learned from its subtitle: "Rediscovering Centuries Old Secrets to a Healthy, Long Life." The point being that much of what this book describes was known by our ancestors, and it's our job to unlearn what we've come to know about aging, and relearn this crucial ancient wisdom.

This fascinating book does a deep dive into the mechanisms that are involved in aging and then takes up some very interesting topics that are currently a part of our daytoday discussions relating to aging, including the notion of fasting, the importance of understanding health implications of foods like like tea, red wine, and coffee, the controversial ideas of consuming dietary salt, why magnesium matters, what makes for a healthy versus unhealthy fat, and even explores Blue Zones, areas in the world in which there is extended lifespan.

So let me invite you to move on to our interview and learn more.
