Most Lifespan Is Modifiable
- Only ~25% of lifespan is genetic; the rest is shaped by lifestyle choices.
- Diet and lifestyle therefore give us major control over aging and disease risk.
Adopt A Whole-Plant Foundation
- Center your diet on whole plant foods: fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices.
- Minimize meat, dairy, eggs, sugar, and ultra-processed foods to mirror Blue Zone longevity patterns.
Eat Earlier, Skip Late Meals
- Use early time‑restricted feeding: consume calories earlier in the day and avoid late-night eating.
- Aim to skip or keep dinner light and finish eating before ~7pm for better metabolism.
