## Description

The Longevity Diet: Slow Aging, Fight Disease, Optimize Weight : Longo, Valter: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Excellent & Extremely Informative - I have been an avid follower of Professor Valter Longos’s work and studies since first seeing a BBC Documentary in 2012 - Eat, Fast & Live Longer. This man is nothing short of a genius. Having gone through my own health problems: Bulimia, then a massive benign tumour in my head which lead me to an operation and then into intensive radiation treatment I found his studies fascinating, insightful & inspiring to me personally & I wanted to know & learn more. Over the past 2 decades I have either been, bulimic, vegan, vegetarian, or now for the last 15 years pescatarian at which time I had no idea that such a name even existed. When I found out that Professor Longo had written a book on Longevity I couldn’t wait for it to be published in English. I have a Kindle copy and a book. His book has given me so much knowledge that I didn’t previously have and the information is easy enough to process if you take the trouble. For me, where his book stands out from many other books is that most of the information in this book is based on his own studies and research from throughout his 30 something years of study & research on Longevity. There are no gimmicks just straightforward facts on longevity & how to proceed with his longevity diet with the everyday fruits, vegetables, legumes etc. that we find in our supermarkets or farmers markets. He clearly explains why & which fruits, veg etc are better for you. How simple can it be to follow a mostly plant-based diet - but the truth be known for most of us is that we will continue to eat bad & fast food until the heart attack hits or our cholesterol is through the roof, or like so many people in the Western World we develop diabetes. He clearly explains how we can avoid or correct these problems by using his longevity diet. The book is entertaining as well as full of necessary, important information for living a longer & disease- free life. Prevention is always better than cure. I am a writer and in my own research I have read many, many articles with misinformed information, on many different subjects & I only want facts & proven studies as in this book. Lastly, 100% of all the royalties from Professor Longo’s books go back into his research, another great reason to purchase the book. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
Review: Couldn’t recommend enough - Not many books that are so eye opening and easy to read. As someone who is health conscious this has given me a great understanding of foods as a whole, what to look out for/avoid and how fasting really does make you live longer (or is shown across multiple studies which I went on to discover post read) biomarkers are closer to optimal after the fasting mimicking diet and I am even fasting right now as the previous one I did (fasting mimicking diet) after reading this book made me look noticeably younger/youthful as well as feeling ‘cleaner’ and healthier overall. I have gifted this to family as it’s so easy to understand. Thank you Dr. Valter Longo

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent & Extremely Informative

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The value of not eating. From the horses mouth.
*by T***D on 7 December 2025*

This book is quite easily readable. The beginning to me seemed to be autobiography, which is fine and usefully informative. Then the tail end seemed to be explaining the same things again to show how fasting for five days at a go might be helpful to various conditions, with seemingly less and less evidence for the actual efficacy (difficulty getting people to run medical trials). The fast mimicking is interesting, but not really to me, as I find it far easier to stop eating than to do a load of faffing about with strange and expensive foods. There are recipe suggestions and diet suggestions for how to run a period of fast mimicking, but this was not of interest to me. I found it quite difficult on flicking through the book to identify any diet, but there is actual information in there. There is also a lot of suggestion about what to eat or not eat to generally prolong healthy life, which after all is the premise of the book. and much of that comes back to what is refered to as "Mediteranean diet" (which by now should probably be called "Mediteranean poor village diet from 50 - 100 years ago") I have been primarily trying to lose weight to remedy T2 diabetes. Fasting has proved a valuable tool in acheiving that, and I am still using periods of fasting with the 5 days suggested here, and in other places being a big player. I can do extreme, it is moderation that I find difficult. Over five days I can watch my blood sugar drop from around 6 to around 3. I have no idea what it looks like for a normal person as there seems to be a complete lack of such information on the internet or in books such as this. The book is of course plastered with the dire warnings and self protection, advising that any diet to be done under medical supervision (as though anyone in the UK can get to see a doctor, let alone a nutritionist or dietician with any idea), so - "Dont do this at home children ! " Periods of fasting can be useful and this book goes a long way to explaining how. It is well worth reading if you want to try improving your health, and most of it is based on sound research.
