Dr Valter Longo is one of the worlds foremost researchers on longevity and has written a book on this topic. His ideas are based on sorting through conflicting data by looking at information supported by his five pillars: 1) basic research, 2) epidemiological studies, 3) randomized controlled trials, 4) centenarian studies, 5) studies of complex systems. Using this method he zeros in on some basic advice:
Eat mostly vegan with some fish.
Limit protein.
Minimize saturated fat intake.
Walk fast for at least an hour a day.
He also promotes as beneficial limiting the number of meals per day based on weight, time restricted feeding, and periodic fasting.
