Essen für ein langes Leben

Everyone wants to live a long life. But you can't rely on genes alone, because reaching a ripe old age is not just inherited. Rather, lifestyle is decisive: our diet, how often we exercise, whether there is any nicotine or alcohol abuse, and whether we are part of a stable social network. When it comes to lifestyle factors, our diet is the most important aspect. What we eat essentially determines our life expectancy and our health. In old age, general degradation processes of the organs occur, which manifest themselves in various age-related diseases. In this book, Prof. Kessler shows how this development can be counteracted by a targeted change in diet. He explains about nutrients, hormones, fasting and nutrition in the so-called blue zones, which are regions in the world where there are particularly many old people. And with the right recipes suitable for everyday use, eating for a long life also becomes a real pleasure.
