The longevity paradox

Our cells age from the day we are born, but aging doesn't have to be accompanied by decline. World-renowned author of The Plant Paradox, Dr. Steven R. Gundry, who has spent almost his entire life caring for adult patients, knows well that we all want to live forever - until we are faced with the suffering of our elderly parents and relatives. How can we solve one of the greatest paradoxes of humanity: to reach a long old age, yet feel young in body and soul? Dr. Gundry's groundbreaking book answers this question. In the course of his work with thousands of patients, the renowned cardiologist and cardiac surgeon discovered that the diseases that come with aging are not a law at all, but a consequence of our lifestyle. The Longevity Paradox shows the method of healthy aging: how to support the "most ancient" parts of our body, the microorganisms living in our bodies. Our health is largely determined by the intestinal bacteria that make up the microbiome. From cancer to Alzheimer's to common ailments like arthritis and obesity, these tiny creatures control the quality of our lives as we age. But it's never too late to support the microbes inside us and give them what they need to thrive—and us too. The diet and lifestyle plan outlined in The Longevity Paradox can help you maintain a healthy digestive system and live your best life in the decades ahead. With the help of this groundbreaking book, you can stay healthy and vibrant for the rest of your life.
