What? A book focused on the science of longevity, providing practical guidance on diet, exercise and lifestyle choices that promote a longer, healthier life.
Who? Dr Luigi Fontana is an internationally recognised physician and researcher in the fields of longevity and nutrition. With a background in internal medicine and metabolic research, he has spent years studying how lifestyle choices influence ageing and disease prevention. His work bridges the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and everyday health practices.
Why? From calorie restriction and fasting to exercise and plant-based diets, The Path to Longevity explores the multiple, key factors that contribute to a longer, healthier life: exercise, diet, sleep... Fontana backs his claims with extensive scientific research, offering readers a well-rounded perspective on what truly works for longevity - separating solid evidence from fads and hype.
So… If you’re looking for a science-backed guide to ageing well, this book provides clear, actionable insights. It’s ideal for those who want to optimise their healthspan, reduce the risk of chronic disease and understand the biological mechanisms behind longevity.
Dr Fontana presents complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner, making this an informative read without being overly technical. His balanced approach avoids extremes, emphasising sustainable lifestyle habits over quick fixes.
The Path to Health is, at present, my favourite longevity read and recommendation.
