THE LONGEVITY KITCHEN – MASSIMO GUALERZI LUIGI CATERINO

Eternal youth has always fascinated people since the dawn of time; after all, aging is the reason why our lives end. For thousands of years, our ancestors have wondered why decade after decade they lost some of their strength and vitality. Various cultures have tried, each in their own way, to explain the causes between legends and science.In this cookbook we do not propose diet in particular, but a “container” of the best nutritional practices that have had adequate scientific support from modern Antiage Medicine and Longevity Science. A low index but low glycemic load diet, high in vegetables but balanced in macronutrients, which tends to the classic Mediterranean Diet but with more emphasis on healthy fats and less on carbohydrates, which replaces unhealthy fats with virtuous ones, which uses the healthiest proteins from oily fish and vegetables, which reduces all pro-inflammatory foods such as gluten, salt, sugar, and animal protein. It is the first cookbook to take into consideration the aging process and use nutrition as a way to slow its course and the onset of related diseases.
