The Longevity Plan

At forty-four, acclaimed cardiologist John D. Day was overweight and suffering from insomnia, degenerative joint disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. On six medications he needed to make a change. While lecturing in China, he heard about a remote mountainous area known as Longevity Village, a wellness Shangri-la free of disease, and where living past one hundred—in good health—is not uncommon.In the hope of understanding this incredible phenomenon, Dr. Day decided to spend some time in Longevity Village. He learned everything he could about this place and its people, and met its centenarians. His research revealed seven principles that work in tandem to create health, happiness, and longevity—rules he applied to his own life. Six months later, he’d lost thirty pounds, dropped one hundred points off his cholesterol and twenty-five points off his blood pressure, and was even cured of his acid reflux and insomnia.Now Dr. Day shares his story and his proven program to help you feel sharper, more motivated, more productive, and pain-free. The Longevity Plan is not only a fascinating travelogue but also a practical, accessible, and inspiring guide to living a better life.
